Coach Spotlight: Meet Coach Mike
Get to know one of the familiar faces around CMFSC — Coach Mike! From his lifelong connection to the club to his favourite soccer memories, here’s a closer look.
Coach Mike (or whatever the kids decide to call me!)
Community Partnerships Specialist & 2011G BCSPL Head Coach
Soccer has been ingrained in my family since the day I was born. I had many influences that resulted in me falling in love with the game. My sister was closest to home (she was the athlete of the family), had many cousins who also played, and strong influences such as my short time admiring Dom and the many years of looking up to Alfredo. This has turned into 20+ years as a player, coach and now staff with CMFSC.

Some of my favourite soccer memories from CMFSC are the early days of volunteering at Mackin Park — especially Coach Alfredo’s infamous rain dance to keep the day dry!
The opportunity to compete as part of a team rather than individually, and how that shared experience builds lifelong friendships and relationships.

There have been many — it’s hard to name just one. Freddy, Neil, Phebe, and Sara have all been notable influences at different stages, whether as a player, coach, or staff member.
