Meet the Coaches: Drew Sheppard - Boys Varsity Soccer

How long have you been coaching boys soccer, including your time at Plainfield?

This will be my 10th year coaching boys' high school soccer. I was an assistant coach at Avon High School for 4 years, and this will be my 6th year as the head coach here at PHS.

Why do you coach boys soccer?

I chose to coach soccer because I love the game and the opportunity it gives me to positively influence young men. I also love that it allows me to compete. 

What has been your proudest or most memorable coaching moment?

My most memorable coaching moment was when we won sectionals in 2020 and to see the joy that my players had in that moment. There was a time when winning our sectional seemed impossible so to see my players' hard work pay off in that way is something I'll never forget. 

What has support from the Red Pride Booster Club meant to your program?

The Red Pride Booster Club has done so much to benefit our program and Athletics as a whole. We are very grateful for all the time and energy they invest to help support our program and contribute to its success. 

What does success look like for the boys soccer team this season?

Most importantly, I want to see growth in my players on and off the field, and I want to see their passion for the game continue to grow. In terms of results, I have high hopes for our boys and expect to compete for both conference and sectional titles.
