Jerry Seiner Coach of the Month
June 2013
Coach: Josh Patino
Current Team(s): Celtic U14 and U16 Premier
Coaching Experience: I started coaching young competitive teams about 10 years ago. I’ve used my playing career as a learning experience for coaching. I’ve coached with several competitive clubs over the past four years and have enjoyed watching teams develop and turn hard work into success.
Playing Experience: I started playing when I was 4. I played at the Premier Level from U15 until college. I played four years semi-professionally in the PDL, three with BYU and one with Ogden Outlaws. I’ve had the opportunity to play international opponents such as the Mexico U21 National Team and Saprissa, Costa Rica. I’ve also played against our very own MLS team, Real Salt Lake on multiple occasions.
Favorite Soccer Teams: FC Barcelona, Real Salt Lake
Favorite Soccer Player: Ronaldinho, Messi
Most Memorable Soccer Experience(s): July 4th, 2012 – BYU vs Ogden Outlaws. My father drove from Minnesota to watch me play in my last home game, ever. Until this point he had never seen me play for BYU. It was Senior night and I was the only senior. With just a few minutes remaining in the first half, I scored the first goal of the match to give BYU a 1-0 lead. Scoring that goal at South Field in Provo in front of a few thousand fans was awesome but scoring in front of my father, who would watch me play for the first and last time that night, and in front of my wife, who has always been my biggest support, was memorable.
Coaching Philosophy: Love the game. Play with your feet, not your mouth. Never give up.
Favorite Movie: Miracle
Favorite Food: Lomo Saltado – Peruvian dish
Special Interests: Frisbee Golf, Mini Golf, Sushi with my wife, Nerf gun wars
Josh Says: “Never give up.”
