Callan Grey Mintz

Callan is a highly accomplished soccer goalkeeper, coach, and mentor with a lifelong passion for developing confident, technically sound, and mentally strong young athletes.

A standout collegiate goalkeeper, Callan built his reputation as a commanding presence in the net — known for his leadership, composure under pressure, and ability to organize and elevate the players around him. Throughout his playing career, he helped lead teams to multiple national championship appearances, earning recognition for both his performance and his ability to lead from the back.

Callan's experience extends well beyond the college game. He has played and trained overseas, gaining a global perspective on goalkeeping techniques, training methodology, and match preparation. This international exposure shaped his belief that great goalkeepers are built not only on athleticism, but on decision-making, positioning, communication, and confidence.

As a coach, Callan has taught and coached goalkeepers on both the East Coast and West Coast, working with athletes of all ages and ability levels — from beginners just learning the position to competitive youth players striving to take their game to the next level. His coaching style is hands-on, encouraging, and detail-oriented, with a strong emphasis on proper fundamentals, repetition, and game-realistic training.

Above all, Callan is passionate about developing the complete goalkeeper — technically, physically, and mentally. He prides himself on creating a positive, challenging environment where young goalkeepers build confidence, learn to command their box, and truly enjoy the position. Parents trust Callan not just for his credentials, but for the way he connects with kids, builds belief, and helps them grow both on and off the field.

Trusted by Families

My son used to hesitate on every ball into the box. After working with Callan, he's calling for crosses, organizing his defense, and playing with real confidence. The mental side of his game has completely transformed.

Callan has a way of pushing kids to be better while keeping it fun. My daughter used to dread goalkeeper training — now it's the highlight of her week. She's fallen in love with the position.

Laura S. Parent of 13-year-old goalkeeper

What impressed me most is how the training shows up in games. My son's positioning and decision-making are so much sharper. His club coach even asked what we've been doing differently.
