Kendal Richey

TRAINER 

Born in Northern Virginia, I’ve had the unique opportunity to coach across the country and
internationally, working with players from the grassroots level to elite ECNL and UPSL squads. My journey in the game has taken me from futsal courts in Brazil to professional development environments in Hawaii and along the East Coast, where I’ve developed a coaching philosophy grounded in U.S. Soccer coaching education and enriched by studying player development methodologies from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and England. I am currently pursuing my UEFA coaching license and finishing a Bachelor's Degree in Sport and Health Science with a focus is Coaching to continue elevating my expertise.

I started coaching at the age of 16, and now, ten years later, I remain hungry to learn every day. My purpose is to instill a love of the game in my players and to help them reach their goals by identifying their needs and creating tailored development programs focused on setting attainable objectives through hard work, discipline, and commitment.


To deepen my understanding, I regularly take independent study trips to Europe to immerse myself in different footballing cultures and observe how training methodology is shaped by identity, environment, and tradition. I also plan to expand these studies with upcoming trips to South America, further broadening my perspective on the game. This hands-on approach allows me to develop a more holistic and international understanding of football—one that I bring back
to my players here at Capstone.
