About Me

Over 20 years of college and youth experience, from the youngest age groups in youth soccer to the highest levels of college soccer (Division 1) and everything in between. My vast experience and perspective, along with a holistic approach, will be the most valuable when helping players and families navigate the very complicated waters of youth soccer and the recruiting process.

We will start with a consultation/interview to see if we can work together for the best interest of your son and your family.

What I do

I work with families to navigate the difficult youth soccer landscape, to find the best avenue for their son. This doesn’t just happen at the high school level; it happens way before. Having said that, I am here to help through all stages, even through the recruiting phase and the college years (i.e. playing time, transfer portal, change of coaches etc…)

If your family is looking for a PERSONAL relationship, not just a generic recruiting service, this might be a fit!

Hazard of the Game: The Dangers of Over-Parenting in Sport and Life

I have written a book about well-meaning parents ruining their child’s soccer experience titled “Hazard of the Game.”

A message of hope for everyone who wants more out of life than just a full schedule. Hazard of the Game is a two-part book that examines the lives of soccer moms and dads and the daily distractions that slowly erode a family’s vitality. Part One—A Tale of Two Parents—is a parable of joy and despair as the Michaels family struggles to balance freedom and responsibility with their talented son, Trey. Chasing his own lost dreams, Frank Michaels pushes the boy into an exhausting pursuit of excellence, where being one’s best is not good enough. Part Two—Hazard Lights—is a light-hearted look at youth sports and its effects on families. Each brief chapter provides a positive message that can be read in just a few minutes, with tongue in cheek chapters such as How to Ruin Your Kid’s Life, My Coach is an Idiot! and So You Think You’re Good. Coach Hazard’s non-threatening style entertains while offering refreshing insight into sports and society.
