Karl  is  USSF Grassroots (9v9 and 11v11) licensed Coach and has four years of experience. As a player, Karl played in multiple high level organizations, including four years at UW - Oshkosh (two NCAA Tournament appearances, second team All Region in 2013), winning a state championship and playing in two Midwest Regional Championships with the Madison 56ers, and earning second-team All State during his senior year at Oregon High School. Once graduated, he moved back to the Madison area where he continues playing organized soccer. He met his wife, Lauren, during this time and they live on the East Side of Madison with one dog, and three cats. 

I believe working hard, keeping a positive attitude, and having fun, are the fundamentals of player growth and development. Creating an inclusive environment where all players feel safe and welcome is important for this growth. 

I hope to motivate players through encouragement and by being a role model who they trust and feel comfortable communicating with both on and off the field.

My passion and excitement for soccer started at a young age and I hope to pass this along to my players!
