Truett McConnell men's soccer head coach Rob Miller has announced that former Bear Michael Antoniewicz has been named Assistant Men's Soccer Coach.
"I'm very happy to introduce Michael as the new assistant coach at Truett McConnell," said Miller. "He has a tremendous work ethic and passion for soccer. He will be a good Christian example for our young student-athletes."
Antoniewicz played collegiately at TMU for four years, tallying four goals and 13 assists. The former team captain led the Bears to receive votes in the national rankings and to the AAC semifinals last season.
"After spending four years at Truett McConnell as a student athlete, I had the time of my life," said Antoniewicz. "I was very blessed to play with some great players and to play under great coaches. The program has been on the fringes of success and I want to help bring the program to the next level and be a championship winning program. I want to thank everyone who made this possible, and I can't wait to get started. To be assistant under such a successful coach like Rob is a honor, and I know I will learn a lot from him. I want to help develop players to their fullest potential but also to help strengthen their walk in Christ."
Born in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, Antoniewicz graduated from TMU with a 3.51 grade point average and a Bachelor of Science in Business with a concentration in Sports Management. Prior to coming to TMU, he represented the Fife County team in Italy as well as the senior team at Bell Baxter High School.
Antoniewicz is the son of Patricia and Sergio Antoniewicz. He has one brother, Ben.
As part of our COVID-19 safety plan, the indoor sessions traditionally held on the first day of camp will be shared online.
Sessions will be accessible for the week prior to camp. They are available on-demand and can be completed at the athlete's
convenience.
This approach allows us to continue offering these valuable sessions so athletes arrive to camp ready to maximize the experience,
while still maintaining a safe experience.

The camp provides you with an opportunity to meet, interact, and train with college coaches from different schools around the nation from different levels.

I wanted to let you know I committed to a school (Illinois Institute of Technology) and also thank you for the experience your camp gave me. I participated in 3 of your camps (freshman / sophomore / junior year of HS) and I in each one I learned something different. Although I didn't meet the coach from the school I am going during one of your camps, it is was because of the tools your camp gave me I was confident and knowledgeable enough to go through the process.
Before coming to your camp I didn't know where I would fit, but I knew I wanted to play in college. It was only through the interactions with coaches in your camp where I got a clear and honest picture of what my best bets were and provided me with the tools to navigate the process.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you and affirm what you probably already know which is you are doing a great job.
