COACH BIO

DJ McMoil

MSc

After winning three national championships as a goalkeeper at a small college in Chicago, I began coaching as a way to stay connected to soccer. The more I worked with young athletes, the more I saw the need for cognitive resources that would have served me as a player. I completed a Master's in Sport and Recreation Sciences from Ohio University in 2022 and am currently working toward an Ed.D. from the University of Western States in Sport and Performance Psychology. As a mental performance coach, I have worked in solo and group settings with dozens of athletes from soccer, golf, tennis, baseball, and running backgrounds. Along with leading the coaching team at ACG Mental Performance, I also consult with boys and girls soccer clubs in MLS Next and the ECNL on mental performance, providing team and individual solutions for the unique pressure their high-level athletes experience every day.
