T. Logan Fleck, Camp Director

T. Logan Fleck entered his sixth season as the head coach of Stetson University's men's soccer program in 2012. Fleck recently earned his 50th win with the Hatters, topping Lipscomb 3-1 on October 23, 2011.

Stetson recorded another excellent season under Fleck in 2011, going 10-5-4 overall and 6-1-1 in Atlantic Sun Conference action to finish second in the league standings. Fleck's tutelage resulted in Jonathan Mendoza and Luis Ocejo sweeping the A-Sun Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards, respectively, with Gonzalo de Mujica joining them on the A-Sun First Team.

Kai Eckenrode was a Second Team selection with JJ Lofthouse-Smith earning A-Sun All-Freshman Team honors. Most notably, however, was Mendoza becoming the first NSCAA All-American in Stetson men's soccer history with a Third Team selection after his 11-goal, five-assist season.

In 2010, Fleck led the Hatters to a 10-6-2 record and a second straight appearance in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament finals. Three Hatters (Frederik Brustad, Ryan Corning and Jonathan Mendoza) earned First Team All-Atlantic Sun honors with Brustad becoming the first A-Sun Player of the Year in program history. Gonzalo de Mujica was named to the Second Team and goalkeeper Andreas Schnabl to the All-Freshman Team. Corning, Mendoza and Schnabl made the A-Sun All-Tournament Team as well.

In 2009 Fleck led the Hatters to the second Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament Championship in the program's history and second-ever berth in the NCAA Tournament. Stetson finished the regular season with 12 wins and then picked up post-season victories over ETSU and Mercer, before falling to USF in the NCAA Playoffs. The final season record was 14-4-2 giving Coach Fleck the program record for the most wins in a season. Four members of the 2009 team earned First Team All-Conference honors including senior Robert Hodge who was named the A-Sun's Defensive Player of the Year. One player, Jonathan Mendoza was voted to the All-Freshman Team.

Fleck has 211 career victories in 24 years of coaching men's and women's soccer. Prior to coming to DeLand he was fixture at the University of South Florida. Fleck served as the head women's soccer coach, leading the Bulls to a 97-94-18 record. It was a program he brought from a non-scholarship team to a varsity squad that built an 11-3-0 record in his first season.

Fleck has an eye for talent. He was instrumental in the signing of several standout players on the men's side, including Major League Soccer star Mark Chung of the San Jose Earthquakes. He retired after the 2006 season after playing in 278 league matches, one of the highest totals in MLS history. Chung, who has made four MLS All-Star appearances as a member of four different teams (Kansas City, New York/New Jersey and Colorado), played under Fleck's tutelage from 1989 through 1992. Another standout was U.S. National Team member Jeff Cunningham of the MLS FC Dallas. He was the MLS scoring champion in 2006 and won the Golden Boot Award with 16 goals and 11 assists. One of his top women's players at USF Siri Norby is a member of the Norwegian National Team and played in the 2008 Olympic Games in China.

Other Fleck recruits include MLS-drafted players Todd Deneault and USF's all-time single-season goal-scoring leader Mike Mekelburg. Both were drafted in the 1997 MLS college draft. The Tampa Bay Mutiny selected Mekelburg in the first round while the Columbus Crew selected Deneault in the third round.

Fleck holds a United States Soccer Federation National "A" license as well as a Youth National License. He has been an instructor at U.S. Soccer National Coaching Schools and for National Youth Licenses as well. He was the head coach of the United States Youth Soccer Association South Regional teams from 1989-91 and is currently on both coaching staffs for the women's and men's South Regional teams. In addition, Fleck is currently a U.S. Soccer Federation National staff coach.
