Stefan, a former DI Athlete at UIC, brings a unique profile to Big Cat Goalkeeping. From coaching numerous levels including youth, high school and NCAA to learning and training in Serbia as a youth, his perspective is invaluable.

Stefan provides unique individual training to help develop the finer skills of goalkeepers. He has trained players of professional academies and top NCAA schools. Stefan also had the opportunity to travel with Big Cat to Madrid, Spain where he learned and trained under top Atletico Madrid academy coaches such as Curro Galan.

“Stefan provides a welcome intensity to our training environments. He pushes our keepers to their limits both mentally and physically, getting the best out of their development and helping our keepers achieve their ultimate goals.” – Neil Thompson
