Meet the Coach
Jonny Blake
Jonny was fortunate enough to have the experience of traveling the world for football at a young age, learning and playing while representing his youth club, academy, Region II ODP Team, Drake University (Division 1), and Sonoma State University (Division 2). He has played and competed in the Netherlands, England, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Wales, and Costa Rica.
After finishing his collegiate career, Jonny began coaching and has now been working with players for over 7 years. In 2018, he started MatchFit Academy, a private training program specializing in one-on-one and small group development. Through MatchFit, he has worked with players at every level, including professionals, semi-pros, college athletes, and elite youth in leagues such as MLS NEXT and ECNL. He currently is a director at WestCoast Futsal and spent 4 years coaching at the club level with Walnut Creek Surf.
Jonny is also an official talent scout with IFX, an international soccer agency that helps players earn opportunities to train and play in Germany, Spain, and England. Over the years, he has also had the opportunity to observe training sessions at top youth academies in Germany and England, experiences that continue to influence his coaching approach today.
