Bard
Division 3
TJ Kostecky arrived at Bard in July of 2019.
He came to Bard after 20 years as the head coach at Div. I LIU-Brooklyn, where he led the Blackbirds to the 2018 NCAA Tournament in his final season there. During his tenure there, he won three Northeast Conference titles, made three NCAA Tournament appearances and was the NEC Coach of the Year in 2015 and 2018.
As successful as his teams have been on the pitch, Kosteckys squads were also devoted in the classroom. His 2003 & 2012 teams posted the highest team grade point average in the nation. The 2008 & 2015 squads was awarded the NEC Team Academic Award for posting the highest GPA among mens soccer teams in the conference. The 2011 & 2013 teams were distinguished by the conference with the NEC Sportsmanship Award.
Kostecky has a proven track record of rebuilding programs, having engineered successful turnarounds at each of his prior coaching stops. Prior to LIU, he took over an Appalachian State program in Boone, N.C., that had suffered four consecutive losing seasons prior to Kosteckys hiring in 1998. In his only season at the school, he led the Mountaineers to a 13-8 mark in 1998, marking the best first-year record for a coach in the programs history of over 40 years. For his efforts, he was named Southern Conference Coach of the Year.
Kostecky arrived in Boone following a successful run as head coach and director of athletics at Pfeiffer University in Misenheimer, N.C., from 1994-97. He was handed the reins of a program that had suffered eight straight losing seasons before he led the team to a 46-25-7 record and captured two Carolinas-Virginia Athletics Conference championships. Kostecky was named CVAC Coach of the Year in 1997 and mentored one All-American and nine all-conference honorees during his tenure.
He began his collegiate coaching career at New Jersey Institute of Technology, where he led the Highlanders from 1988-93. NJIT compiled a 67-37-11 mark in his six years, capturing conference championships in 1991 and 1992 and making four ECAC postseason trips. Kosteckys accomplishments at NJIT came in his native New Jersey, where he starred scholastically at Woodbridge Township High School.
Tactically, Kosteckys attacking practice sessions involve a system called Vision Training that he and business partner Len Bilous developed several years ago. This method helps players make smart, well-informed decisions by improving their field vision.
A featured clinician around the world, Kostecky conducted a coaching seminar in Masku, Finland, in March of 2005 on Vision Training. In early 2005, he released a video under the same name for players and coaches to use. Since its release, it has become one of the most requested coaching video's in the country and abroad.
TJ is currently finishing up a self-help book through Benbella books publishing that's set to be released in the winter of 2023. The title of the book is "Eyes up! A soccer guru's guide to scoring big in the game of life".
Throughout his career, Kostecky has been an instrumental figure in facilitating the growth of soccer in America. From 1987-94 he was a coach for New Jerseys Olympic Development Team and was responsible for the training and selection of the states top players for the United States National Team. When he accepted his post at Pfeiffer, he filled a similar role with North Carolinas Olympic Development squad. Several of the players he mentored have played succeeded at the international level, including former U.S. National Team captain Claudio Reyna, and moved onto professional leagues such as Major League Soccer.
Kostecky has also worked with U.S. Mens and Womens National Team members, including Julie Foudy, a captain of the 1999 Womens World Cup Champions. He conducted an instructional clinic for inner city children at the 1998 NCAA Division I Championships in Richmond, Va., for the NCAA Youth Education Through Sports Program and was again a guest clinician for YES at the 1999 and 2000 NCAA Championships.
In 1989, Kostecky founded Soccer Start, a youth soccer program for inner city children. He served as the programs National Chairman until 1993. The program continues to identify and cultivate the abundance of talent in the inner-cities. He was appointed World Cup 94 Committee Chair by then New Jersey Governor Jim Florio and coordinated training site activities in the Metropolitan area for each international team.
A former all-state performer at Woodbridge, he was inducted into the schools Hall of Fame in 1995. He played midfield on the mens soccer team at East Stroudsburg University and received a bachelors degree in health and physical education in 1983. He completed his masters degree at East Stroudsburg in the same field in 1992.

St. Olaf
Division 3
Travis Wall is in his fourth season as the head men's soccer coach at St. Olaf in 2022-23. He was hired as St. Olaf's eighth head men's soccer coach on Dec. 18, 2018.
During his time at St. Olaf, Wall has led the Oles to a 43-18-3 (.695) record, including a 22-7-1 (.750) mark in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The Oles have appeared in the "Sweet 16" of the NCAA Tournament in each of the last two seasons, making the program one of just five NCAA Division III men's soccer programs in the country to accomplish that feat. Wall also guided St. Olaf to the 2021 MIAC regular-season title and the 2022 MIAC Playoffs title.
In 2022, St. Olaf advanced to the "Sweet 16" for the second-straight season after defeating Lake Forest College and No. 10 North Central College (Ill.) in the opening rounds before falling in a shootout. As the No. 2 seed in the MIAC Playoffs, the Oles blanked Bethel University, 3-0, in the semifinals before claiming their third tournament title with a 2-1 come-from-behind victory at top-seeded and fifth-ranked Gustavus Adolphus College behind Robi Buzakovic's second goal of the game with 1:01 remaining. St. Olaf finished the season 15-5-2 overall and 7-2-1 in conference play, with three of its five losses coming to top-10 opponents. The Oles also went 9-0-0 at home, winning all of their home games for the fourth time in program history (first since 1998). The 2022 team had four All-MIAC honorees - including the Offensive Player of the Year (Shea Bechtel) and the Rookie of the Year (Robi Buzakovic) - to go with one Honorable Mention All-MIAC selection, 14 Academic All-MIAC honorees, six College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District honorees, four United Soccer Coaches All-Region IX selections, one United Soccer Coaches All-American, one United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-Region honoree, and the program's first-ever United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-American.
In 2021, Wall led St. Olaf to arguably the most successful season in program history, as the Oles matched their deepest-ever run in the NCAA Tournament by advancing to the "Sweet 16." St. Olaf set a new single-season program record for wins in a season by finishing 19-3-1 and the 19 victories also were tied for the most of any team in the country in NCAA Division III. The Oles became just the fifth team in the history of the MIAC to go 10-0 in conference play on their way to winning the fourth outright (seventh overall) MIAC regular-season championship in program history. After leading St. Olaf to the historic season, Wall was named the MIAC Coach of the Year by his peers and he and assistant coaches Justin Oliver and Ben Braman were named the United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division III Region IX Coaching Staff of the Year at the end of the season.
St. Olaf tied the program's longest unbeaten streak with a 16-game streak where the Oles went 15-0-1 from Sept. 12 through Nov. 3, which included a record-tying 15-straight wins from Sept. 15 through Nov. 3. After not being ranked since 2015, the Oles spent six weeks in the United Soccer Coaches Top 25, peaking at No. 10 in the country twice, which was the program's highest ranking since 2011. St. Olaf concluded the season ranked No. 15, marking the joint-highest year-end ranking in program history in the poll. The Oles were also ranked in the D3soccer.com Top 25 in five-straight polls, wrapping up the season at No. 12.
For the first time in program history, St. Olaf had two United Soccer Coaches All-America honorees in the same season, as sophomore Victor Gaulmin was named to the first team and sophomore Hakeem Morgan earned a spot on the second team. The duo were two of only five sophomores nation-wide to be named All-Americans and made St. Olaf one of 11 programs in the country with multiple All-Americans. Gaulmin and Morgan were also two of four Oles to be United Soccer Coaches All-Region honorees and were two of the program's three first-team selections. St. Olaf also had a program record and conference-record-tying six All-MIAC honorees in 2021, including the league's Midfielder of the Year (Victor Gaulmin) and Rookie of the Year (Shea Bechtel).
In his first season on the Hill, Wall led the Oles to their first appearance in the MIAC Playoffs since 2015, as St. Olaf finished 9-10 overall and 5-5 in the MIAC. Under his guidance, St. Olaf had five student-athletes earn All-MIAC or Honorable Mention All-MIAC honors, which was the highest total for the program since 1993. The Oles were picked eighth in the MIAC Preseason Coaches' Poll but defeated three teams picked ahead of them to return to the MIAC Playoffs and post the program's highest win total and MIAC win total since 2015.
After the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out the fall 2020 season, St. Olaf played eight exhibition contests in the spring of 2021 and St. Olaf went 4-2-2 in those eight games with wins over Augsburg, Bethel, St. Thomas, and Concordia-Moorhead.
A former NCAA Division III National Player of the Year, Wall came to St. Olaf after four seasons on the staff at his alma mater, Ohio Wesleyan University, under Jay Martin, the winningest coach in NCAA men's soccer history. After joining Martin's staff in 2015 as an assistant coach, Wall was promoted to associate head coach in April 2017 and also served as the recruiting coordinator for the Battling Bishops.
In Wall's four seasons on the coaching staff at Ohio Wesleyan, the Battling Bishops posted a combined record of 51-21-9 (.685), including a mark of 25-5-6 (.778) in the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC). Ohio Wesleyan made three NCAA Tournament appearances and advanced to the NCAC Tournament title game three times in his four seasons on staff.
Wall also served as Ohio Wesleyan's camp director, recruiting coordinator, travel coordinator and assisted in the development of training plans. He recruited the 2016, 2017 and 2018 NCAC Freshmen of the Year and also coached the NCAC Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year in 2015.
As a student-athlete at Ohio Wesleyan, Wall was a two-time NSCAA First Team All-American (2010, 2011) and was named the NSCAA National Player of the Year after captaining the Battling Bishops to the 2011 NCAA Division III National Championship, with Wall scoring in each of the team's final four games in the NCAA Tournament. As a senior, Wall finished fifth in the country in points (53), ninth in goals (19) and fourth in assists (15) as a member of the third-highest-scoring team in the country.
Over his four-year career at Ohio Wesleyan, Wall's teams went a combined 78-11-5 (.856), as he finished his career in the program's top-five in goals (49), assists (36) and points (134). Following his career, Wall was named to the North Coast Athletic Conference Men's Soccer All-Decade Team (2003-12). During his sophomore season, Wall started all 22 games for the team that boasted the statistically-best defense in the country, allowing just six goals in over 2,000 minutes to lead the country in shutout percentage (.773) and goals-against average (0.27).
Wall went on to play professional soccer for Minnesota United FC (formerly Minnesota Stars FC) of the North American Soccer League (NASL) from April 2012 to January 2014, after spending preseason with the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer (MLS).
Wall's coaching career started at the University of St. Thomas, where he was an assistant coach during the 2012 and 2013 seasons, helping guide the Tommies to a record of 21-9-7 (.662). There, he assisted with all facets of the program and designed and implemented offseason cardio programs.
In 2014, Wall served as the Director of Soccer Operations at Division I Xavier University, as the Musketeers advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. At Xavier, he worked with the 2014 BIG East Staff of the Year during a season that saw the Musketeers set program records for wins, shutouts and goals-against average.
Wall also carries three seasons of high-level club coaching experience as the head coach of the U19 Ohio Premier Soccer Club Green team and was named the 2018 United Soccer Coaches Midwest Regional Coach of the Year. In 2018, he led the team to the U19 Elite National Premier League (ENPL) National Championship with a team that had eight members sign to play at Division I programs, including Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) National Player of the Year Luke Kiley. The team finished in fifth place at US Youth Soccer (USYS) Nationals in 2017 and was a semifinalist in 2016.
Wall graduated from Ohio Wesleyan in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts and went on to earn his Master's in recreation and sport sciences from Ohio University in June 2016. In 2017, Wall obtained his C License from U.S. Soccer Federation. His older siblings, Tyler and Sarah, were both three-time All-America selections in soccer at Ohio Wesleyan.

Blair Stevenson completed his second season as the top assistant on Stu Riddle's staff in 2018. This past season, he helped the team to a 10-7 record. The 10 wins were the most for the program in the Division I era. The team also achieved a No. 9 ranking in the United Soccer Coaches North Region poll earlier in the season. The North Region included all four teams that advanced to the Final Four of the 2018 NCAA College Cup.
Freshman Alex Willis was named the Horizon League Freshman of the Year and to the All-Horizon League First Team. He was also selected to the United Soccer Coaches All-North Region Second Team, the Top Drawer Soccer Freshmen Best XI First Team and the College Soccer News All-Freshman First Team. Willis finished the season ranked as the 11th-best freshman by Top Drawer Soccer. Sophomore Alex Grieve earned All-Horizon League Second Team honors, and freshman Stian Jørgensen was named to the All-Horizon League Freshman team.
In 2018, Willis finished fourth in the NCAA in goals scored, Greive tied for fourth in total assists, and the team ranked ninth in the NCAA in scoring offense with 2.18 goals per match.
The 2018 season also saw Rikard Lindqvist and Jim Barkei earn Horizon League All-Academic Team honors. Additionally, Lindqvist was named to the Google Cloud Academic All-District Team and the Google Cloud Academic All-America Third Team, as selected by CoSIDA.
Prior to this past season, the team achieved a 3.48 GPA in the Spring of 2018 semester, which was the highest GPA in program history.
Head Coach Stu Riddle announced the addition of Stevenson as Assistant Men's Soccer Coach on March 7, 2017. Stevenson joined the Norse as the top assistant after working alongside Riddle at the University at Buffalo.
Stevenson most recently served as the Assistant Coach at Buffalo during the 2016 season. Stevenson helped lead the Bulls to the 2016 Mid-American Conference Championship finals. At Buffalo, the Scotland native was responsible for gameday tactics, scouting, player development, video analysis and college ID camp coordination. Stevenson also helped guide the Bulls to a program-best No. 2 Great Lakes Regional ranking, top-50 NCAA RPI ranking and final record of 12-4-3.
Prior to UB, Stevenson served as Assistant Coach at Syracuse University where he was responsible for planning training sessions and gameday tactics, community relations, youth soccer camp organization and scouting. During his time at Syracuse, the Orange won the 2015 Atlantic Coast Conference title and advanced to the NCAA Men's College Cup after earning the No. 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Two members of the 2015 squad were drafted in the 2016 MLS First Round - Julian Büscher (11th overall, D.C. United) and Ben Polk (20th overall, Portland Timbers).
"To have a coach on staff that has been part of an ACC winning team and part of a run to the Final Four is fantastic for us," added Riddle. "Blair was instrumental in our success at Buffalo last season and I have no doubt he will be a huge asset to the program."
Stevenson was also the Assistant Coach at Le Moyne College for two seasons where he earned his master's degree in education and helped the Dolphins to a 23-13-0 record. Stevenson played for NCAA Division II program Montana State University Billings from 2009 through 2013. Following his collegiate career, Stevenson also played in the Premier Development League for two seasons with the Ottawa Fury and Toronto Lynx in 2011 and 2012.

The numerous pieces of advice for student athletes was really good. This camp was a confidence builder for my son, and also empowering. Thanks for a well organized and educational camp.

I had an amazing experience at EXACT Camp. I enjoyed the opportunity to talk face-to-face with so many coaches from around the country. I also enjoyed the opportunity to train with new coaches. I am looking forward to visiting coaches that I met at their schools and getting to take a closer look at their programs. It was also cool to meet so many fellow athletes from other places and make new friends. Thank you so much for everything!! Thank you!!!

Through this one day camp, EXACT Soccer has made me realize that my dream is so possible to reach. It's the only camp I've been to, but I was able to meet so many new people who share the same passion as me. I also learned how to elevate my recruiting game to reach my goal much easier.
Parent
The information shared throughout the camp was priceless. EXACT Sports and the coaches were so approachable and willing to share all and any knowledge to the athletes and the parents. (line break) Our son is entering 10th grade and we were not aware of any such camps. He attended a showcase with the HS JV team last summer, but they did not share any information. He attended a college sponsored team camp the week before the EXACT Camp and there were only 5 college coaches that attended that camp. We were so happy with the EXACT's structure and all the opportunities that they give the athletes and parents to ask questions. We will attend another camp before our son graduates HS. Thank you!

I loved the style of training and playing at the camp. They were open to changes with certain age restrictions and skill differences (as I am one of the younger athletes). Also, I loved how we were able to meet each coach privately, as well as during training. Lastly, the elevator pitch practice was unique and beneficial as it prepares me for the future.

This is the first ID Camp that I have attended and it was a positive experience in every way. The camp was very well organized leading up to the camp with very informative emails and preparation work for the camp. On the day of the camp, registration was well organized and the EXACT team was there to help for every step of the way. Chris was an excellent leader and motivated me from the very beginning. It was amazing to be exposed to real college coaches and to be coached both on and off the field. Getting feedback on the day was very rewarding. I am looking forward to attending EXACT Soccer Academic 50 ID Camp in June/July.
Parent
I brought my son to this camp not really knowing what to expect and was concerned about how young he was for the camp, since it appears designed around high school level players. I was surprised by the in-depth amount of information that EXACT provided us regarding how to prepare for the college recruitment process. Without a doubt, we would have missed out on the opportunity to know how the process works and the information you provided was insightful and we have confidence moving forward as our son moves into high school and college beyond.
Great job and we look forward to attending more EXACT camps, as well as introduce my younger son to the camps when the time is right. Thank you!
Player
This was a wonderful opportunity to meet coaches and other players in a completely different format. There is a chance to show individual skills that may not be seen in a regular soccer tournament environment. The interaction with coaches is outstanding and I really feel that I was able to get exposure from EXACT that I would not have anywhere else. Thanks for a great session and options to see so many coaches. I can't wait to see where this opportunity leads me!

I went to the first ID Camp in Philly. We were so encouraged that we attended this one in DC. I have always dreamed about 1) going to college and 2) playing soccer in college. I got to meet a lot of great coaches and athletes. I learned something new at each camp. I wish there were more camps close to me so we could attend more. I am a senior and need all the help I can get in hopes to find the right college. I loved how the coaches were there to help us and give us directions on the spot. My mentor Coach was Mike Eckberg. Towson is on my "dream" list - and we are now going to schedule a visit as he suggested. I am so excited and I know I still have a long road ahead, but every journey has a beginning. Even though I am getting started a little late, I feel like EXACT really has helped me come flying out of the gate!

EXACT Sports Camp is a key component to being recruited as an athlete. The camp provides you with an opportunity to meet, interact, and train with college coaches from different schools around the nation from different levels. EXACT Sports provides you with insights into improving your chance of being seen and recruited by college coaches. It was one of the best decisions I made in my recruiting process.
Player
I was surprised to see so many coaches, and having them available to talk to. I wish I would have known about EXACT Sports Elite Camp my junior year. I left feeling like I had personal attention from coaches, and got a better grip on how to navigate the college sports recruitment process.
Great experience meeting coaches, and having the discussion panel with coaches and parents. The games were fun and challenging, which I really enjoyed. Thanks EXACT!
Parent
I attended the camp with my son. The information that the EXACT personnel provided was excellent. We are now much more informed regarding the college recruiting and scholarship qualification's. The coaches that mentored the boys were also very knowledgeable, devoted, and fun. The rating that was provided after the camp was very helpful to help guide my son with his future training. The camp helped to boost my son's confidence and love for the game. I cannot say enough about the camp. You guys are the best ! Thanks for your efforts!

The best part about the Exact ID camp was the ability to have one-on-one conversation with 30+ college soccer coaches from all over the United States. These coaches were not only from different part of the country, but also coaches at different levels. They say a big part of getting recruited is building relationships with the coaches, and I believe this was a great way to get started! This camp gave us, athletes, the opportunity to learn the basics of college recruiting, the qualities the coaches looking for in a player, and overall get great tips from them.
