Jacob Holtz
@jacobholtz
Experienced soccer coach and trainer delivering youth development through mentorship, leadership, and tactical training.
What I'm looking for
I’m a former collegiate men’s soccer captain and professional soccer player, now focused on coaching, athlete development, and youth mentorship. I bring strong leadership, relationship-building, and a positive coaching philosophy centered on teamwork, growth, and sportsmanship.
As a Soccer Coach with Leadership Magic Soccer, I coached youth players and taught fundamental skills, then organized trainings to develop technical ability and game understanding. I consistently fostered an encouraging environment that helps athletes build passion for the sport.
Alongside coaching, I’ve mentored first-year students as a Peer Navigator, supporting a cohort of around 50 and helping them adjust to college life and academic expectations. I communicated key deadlines and campus resources, and I’m comfortable providing guidance and support through challenge.
I also build individualized development plans as a Private Soccer Trainer for youth ages 8–18, strengthening technical and tactical understanding while maintaining strong relationships with athletes and families. My experience spans coaching roles at the high school level, paraeducator support for students with intellectual and behavioral disorders, and professional training routines that sharpen my tactical and fitness approach.
