Brad Bagan - Associate Head Coach | Recruiting Coordinator | Director of Goalkeeping

Now entering his fourth year on Coach Reasso’s staff at Combine Academy, Coach Brad Bagan brings more than 15 years of coaching experience at some of the country’s top youth clubs, along with six years of college coaching experience, including helping NCAA Division I University of North Carolina at Greensboro capture the 2015 Southern Conference Championship.

 

Coach Bagan serves as Associate Head Coach for Combine’s Royal Team, working alongside Coach Reasso to prepare Combine’s top players for the demands of the college game, helping develop and position them to make an immediate impact at the next level. A lifelong advocate for player development, Coach Bagan has helped more than 50 athletes advance to NCAA Division I programs, 15 to professional leagues across the globe, and two to become first-round MLS Draft picks. His approach is built around developing a complete player—technically, tactically, physically, and mentally—while helping each athlete understand what it takes to succeed at the highest levels of the game.

 

With a career centered on developing players and helping them reach their potential, Coach Bagan continues to believe that the most important part of coaching is giving players the knowledge, tools, and guidance to take ownership of their own journey.

 

“My job is to meet players halfway. I can show them the path, but they have to choose foe themselves if their willing to walk it to find success”.
