Confidence in every step.

Collegiate decisions can be tough, exhausting and full of promise. The Stride mentorship program aims to strengthen resilience and build confidence on and off the field so that student athletes are prepared to navigate each step of the process.

  • “Andrew has been my biggest supporter since I was first coached by him in 8th grade. I spent 4 years playing for him which greatly contributed to the skill, hard work, and confidence that I posses today as a DI collegiate player. Throughout the years, no other coach/mentor has had a greater impact on me and my soccer journey. There was a point in my life where I wanted to quit soccer and be done with it for good. I became discouraged, life got in the way, and Andrew didn’t hesitate to reach out to give me some quality advice and opportunities to keep playing with the connections and resources he has. He’s always been there for support and kept me on the right path, helping me through the hard times and being there to celebrate the wins as well."

  • The first time I ever met Andrew was when we came to our quarterfinal game my freshman year. Later that year I figured out that I was going to be moving to Seattle so I reached out to him for support. He helped me so much by reaching out to the coaches in the area telling them that I was coming soon. If it weren’t for Andrew’s help I’m not sure I’d be on the team that I am now. If you need help connecting or being seen by coaches, Andrew Kreiter is the guy!

  • Playing under Coach Andrew during my youth soccer days was one of the most influential experiences in my journey toward college soccer. He was tough on me in the best way possible, always holding me to a high standard and never letting me settle. That mentality prepared me for the demands of college athletics. Beyond training, Andrew was someone I trusted completely. He mentored me through tough decisions, helped build my confidence, gave real advice when I needed it, and even reached out to college coaches on my behalf. Our relationship went beyond just soccer. He genuinely cared me and each of his players, and I would not be where I am today without his guidance and support on and off the field.

What we provide

As a player growing up in Montana, I was able to navigate through the entire process and was fortunate, and lucky, to attend a top level division I program. Through these experiences, I have witnessed all the highs and lows of this beautiful game both mentally and physically.

With STRIDE Mentorship, we help support players in a variety of ways. We take great pride in not only supporting the performance and opportunity side of the game, but also supporting the mental side to strengthen resilience, build confidence and be fully prepared to make these tough decisions that are vital for collegiate success and overall happiness.

I have been a teacher and high school aged academy coach for over 15 years so I believe that having the right mindset, having confidence in yourself, and having the proper tools to overcome obstacles and the tough decisions we all have to make, are some of the most important parts of taking the next step towards your college journey.

You can expect the best.
