Kyle believes that young players grow best when supported by their coaches, families, and teammates; when small victories are celebrated; when effort is valued over outcome; and when they develop the courage not only to strive for success but also to embrace and learn from failure. His coaching priorities include skill development, game understanding, confidence building, and character growth.

Experience

Kyle’s soccer coaching journey began in 2002 as an assistant boys' soccer coach at his alma mater in Cincinnati. Since then, he has spent 16 years coaching at both the club and high school levels. In 2009, he joined Worthington United (later Worthington Crew Juniors) in the Columbus area. Most recently, Kyle served as the Boys' Head Coach at Olentangy High School for seven seasons. Under his leadership, the team earned two District Runner-Up finishes, two District Championships, one OCC Championship, one Regional Championship, and twice held the #1 seed in the Division I Boys' Soccer Tournament. His final match at Olentangy was a 2–1 overtime loss in the 2024 Division I State Semifinals.

With over 22 years of experience working with youth — primarily through soccer — Kyle brings a deep understanding of athletic development and mentorship. He currently serves as a middle school physical education teacher in Westerville City Schools. In addition, he also has experience as an Interscholastic Athletic Director at a private 7–12 school.
