Last year I spent time with the Carolina Rapids U17's DA in North Carolina. I assisted my old college assistant coach and former MLS player Jeff Bilyk with the 17's. It was a great learning experience being involved in an environment that prepares kids for the next level of soccer.  The Fall of 2018 was my first year assistant coach at Fort Hays State University. Fort Hays State is a D2 program competing in the MIAA conference. The program was started in 2011 and we have had 8 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. In the 8 years of existence, we have racked up 100 wins. In 2018 we won the MIAA conference with a perfect 8-0 record, the first time this has been done in conference history. We were the Central Regional champions, Super-Regional champions and made it to the NCAA national semi-final for the first time in school history, missing out on penalties to eventual national champions, Barry University. This year alone, we produced 12 MIAA All-Conference Selections, MIAA POTY, MIAA Freshman of the Year, 8 All-Region Selections, Central Region POTY, 3 All-Americans and the D2CCA National POTY, who . We were also the Central Region coaching staff of the year.
