Coach Jeremy has owned and directed the Mighty Kicks programs here in Northern Colorado for the last 14 years. Coach Jeremy is exceptionally grateful for the opportunity to grow the Mighty Kicks program to what it is today and to have coached and assisted in the overall development of hundreds of children in the Northern Colorado community over the last 14 years. His goal with the program is always to provide an environment for children to learn, grow, and play while having a lasting positive impact on their development.
Coach Jeremy grew up playing soccer at many different levels as a youth and was fortunate to be able to play the game he loves through college. After working in collegiate athletics for seven years, he wanted to get back involved in the game of soccer. He saw a need for a soccer program for young children that not only focused on the development of soccer skills but also provided a fun and positive environment for kids to learn and grow, and he decided to start the Mighty Kicks program here in Northern Colorado. Coach Jeremy is looking forward to another season of Mighty Kicks this spring.
