🚨 Meet the Founder & Coach 🚨

We’re excited to introduce you to the amazing coaches of SoPo Soccer!

First up is Matt Lunt - the person with the vision and drive to start SoPo Soccer. He brings experience and energy to the field!🌟

We asked Coach Lunt a few questions for the SoPo community to learn more about his background and experience!

Hometown: Portland, ME
Occupation: 6th Grade Teacher

Q: How long have you been coaching soccer?
A: I’ve coached soccer in every decade since the mid-90s!

Q: What inspired you to start coaching?
A: I often teach subjects that aren’t kids’ favorite, so to help kids improve at something they care about is really fun. I also think youth sports offer us the chance to regularly teach life lessons in a way that reaches kids better.

Q: When you’re not coaching, what do you love to do?
A: Adventure in the mountains and relax with my family.

Q: Do you have a specific coaching style or philosophy?
A: Designing games with constraints that push players to develop in the intended skill or patterns of thought.

Q: What’s one thing your players would be surprised to learn about you?
A: I was cut from a tryout (in part) because I couldn’t juggle at all.

Q: What do you hope your players will take away from this experience?
A: The ability to do what they want with the ball, to make good soccer decisions more of the time, and a bit of soccer joy in the middle of their week.

Thanks Coach for your dedication to the SoPo Soccer community! ⚽️❤️

Stay tuned to learn more about some of the other fabulous SoPo Soccer coaches!
