Division 2

Scott Martin is in his 4th season as the men's soccer assistant coach at Pfeiffer University.

With over a decade of coaching experience at the youth club ranks, he returns to the college game for the first time since 2015. Previously a member of John Keating's staff at Belmont Abbey College, Martin was a first-team assistant and led the reserve team program.

Martins's soccer career and exposure to the top levels of the game received a boost when he joined Total Football Analysis as a tactical analyst.

Since joining TFA in September 2019, he has made a meteoric climb to senior status, featuring in the magazine each month and working on many client projects, including for EPL, MLS, and A-League clubs.

In addition to coaching and Total Football Analysis content, Martin was also a Match Analyst for Vélez Club de Fútbol for three years, helping them earn promotion from the Spanish Tercera División to the Segunda División RFEF. His time at Vélez CF has also included contributions to the scouting department.

Martin has also published and edited soccer books. His initial contribution to a publication was taking the lead in the "Real Madrid: Preseason Soccer Prospectus 2020/21" project.

Since then, he has penned "Revitalizing Real Madrid: The Tactics and Stats behind Zinedine Zidane's Success" and co-authored "The Soccer Parenting Handbook: Help Your Kids Get Better While Keeping Your Sanity" with Chris Mumford, a UNC-Chapel Hill professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Martin is also a co-founder of The Football Legacy Magazine, which relives the performances of legendary teams through a tactical lens.

While playing philosophies and tactical systems are his soccer passions, it's supporting his players and helping them develop on and off the field that drives his coaching.

Martin believes that culture is the primary driver of performance, which requires close attention to leadership development, identifying internal motivations, and crafting a supportive, yet competitive environment.

Martin currently holds his USSF B License and is an IPSO Foundations of Football Scouting certificate holder. He has experience consulting national and professional teams, as well as top D1s.
