Utah Youth Soccer Coach of the Month
September 2006

Photo of Sean Macklyn

Coach: Sean Macklyn

Current Team: The Utah Rush Under 17 Girls

Coaching Experience: National D License, 20+ years as a club coach in the Davis County area, and a little ODP and High School as well.

Playing Experience: I grew up playing recreation soccer from ages 5-12, and then spent significant time on the bench in competition soccer from ages 12-15 - just watch me try to play and you will understand why I coach, and thankfully, they still allow me to do that!

Favorite Soccer Team: I am the biggest fan of the team I am now coaching, and of course, all the teams I have coached in the past.

Favorite Soccer Player: I enjoy watching professional players, etc., but honestly, my favorite players are those I have coached and have watched them develop and reach their potential.

Most Memorable Soccer Experience: I must say, having lunch recently with Fabio Capello, the Head Coach of Real Madrid.

Coaching Philosophy: This has changed over the years. I simply try to give my players an arena to succeed. I always enjoy and do my best at the time I am working with my teams. I believe soccer, and all sports, give so much more than just the ability to play and compete.

Favorite Movie: Tough one, I haven't had the time to see many movies lately!

Favorite Book: Any book that I have the opportunity to read my two children.

Favorite Food: Any food I have the time to prepare when I am with my family.

Special Interests: My family, and my soccer teams. I truly love to try to do this, time is not on my side, but I still give it my best.

Sean Says: "Work towards being your best and most other things will fall into place."
