Meet the Metro West Football Academy Staff!

  • Founder and Academy Director

    An avid reader, writer, retired professional cook, and athlete. Tristan is a personal trainer, professional youth soccer coach, and entrepreneur. With a decade of coaching and training experience blended with years of experience in more traditional professional leadership roles, Tristan has brought his knowledge and passion together to create the MWFA. Originally going to school to become an astrophysicist, that scientific thoughtfulness has been key to his approach in the world of youth sports. The process of coaching and running a business are both based on systematically breaking down core components of a system, analyzing their parts, and reconstructing it all with new wisdom. This scientific approach mixed with creativity, a passion for life, teaching, health, and soccer, has created the culture and identity of his students, clients, teams, and the Academy itself. Everything is about the joy in exploring and chasing after your own potential intellectually, physically, artistically, and socially, while making the most of every moment.
