More About Coach Mike
Trained soccer players ages 2-18 in private and group settings. Have helped run summer camps with St. Louis Lions and Kitsap Pumas (Bremerton, WA) as well as club training for Lou Fusz soccer club. USSF and MYSA coaching certified. Coaching experience with Eagle Claw Soccer Club in Seattle, WA and current coach with Core Soccer Training.
Owner and Head Coach of MS Soccer, a private soccer training group.
Collegiate athlete at both Maryville University and Missouri S&T (NCAA Div. II). Collegiate captain and 4 year starter. Have played semi-professionally in the PDL and NPSL for the SW Florida Adrenaline and Kitsap Pumas (Captain, NW Conference Champions, West Region Semi-finals).
Have signed professionally with the Cedar Rapids Rampage, Tacoma Stars and currently with the St. Louis Ambush (MASL), as well as have playing experience with both STL FC (USL) and the Seattle Sounders 2 (USL). Have played professionally in Sweden Division 2.
My typical session will include a warm-up/ activation period followed by lots of technical ball work and touches on the ball. The session will be tailored to fit the athlete's goals and skill level. Drills included will cover a wide range of soccer aspects such as dribbling, passing, shooting, positional tactics, conditioning, and more. I believe it is important to develop mental focus and technical form in young players in order to increase quality of play in game scenarios.

Amazing coach! My son Everett was so excited after the first private and hasn’t stopped talking about it. He is looking forward to working with Mike more.
Sarah (CoachUp client)
Great coaching session for my 10 year old daughter. Multi-skilled drills, able to confirm or correct specifics, and high number of quality touches achieved in an hour.
Jennifer (CoachUp client)
Mike did a great job with our daughter, Ava! She had many touches on the ball and felt great after practice. Coach Mike has excellent communication and we can’t wait to schedule more practices going forward! Thanks, Mike!
Pj (CoachUp client)
Mike was everything we were looking for. Very professional, organized, and effective.
The hour session was complete with warmup, cooldown and drills.
Easy and likeable. Definitely can recommend and will use again
Thanks Mike.
Ryan (CoachUp client)
Mike is an excellent coach. Is very patient and has shown my son a great deal to improve upon his game. I highly recommend him.
Jayme (CoachUp client)
First practice, I asked my son how it was? This from our 10 year old son, "Mike is motivating and great!!! Can't wait for my next one on one!" Working with Mike has really improved our sons confidence and technical ability. Mike's personality and professional attitude make him a excellent roll model. Gunner looks forward to each session with Mike.
Christy (CoachUp client)

Chris (CoachUp client)

Noreen (CoachUp client)
Mike is very soccer oriented. He made my kids feel at ease right off the bat and has definitely helped improve their skills in a very short period of time. I would gladly recommend him to anyone and already have.
Fred (CoachUp client)
Mike trained my son and another 15yo. His session was well organized, keeping both boys engaged and interested. It’s difficult to develop a challenging training session having never met the boys and when they are at different skill levels. Mike handled this challenge brilliantly. I highly recommend Mike.
Helena (CoachUp client)
Coach Mike is a great coach! He offered variety of drills for the soccer session to make it challenging and fun!! Thanks!
Rashid (CoachUp client)
Excellent hardworking coach who has an ability to stay engaged with your kid for an entire session.
