The November edition of Brenau Insight: Conversations with the President features Zac Reichert, Brenau’s head soccer coach.

After serving as an associate and assistant coach of Brenau soccer, he was elevated to head coach this year. In our discussion, he talks about the three female coaches, including his mother and grandmother, who influence his coaching philosophy, noting: “Being so influenced by female coaches and working at a university that promotes and supports women’s athletics so intently was a massive factor in my wanting to be here.”

As the team finishes its first season with Reichert at the helm, he talks about recruiting in a region where soccer continues to grow in popularity and what he looks for in a collegiate student-athlete.
