The latest guest on New England Soccer Journal’s “The Goal” podcast is Fairfield University women’s soccer head coach Dave Barrett.
Barrett took over the Fairfield program in 2018 and has led the Stags to a winning record in every campaign but one (not including the COVID-shortened 2020 season). His record over that stretch is 53-35-14, good for a winning percentage of .588.
A former goalkeeper at Wesleyan, Barrett came to Fairfield after 17 years as the head coach at Illinois Wesleyan University, where he achieved significant postseason success, while recording an overall winning percentage of .712.
Barrett joined host Matt Langone to discuss how he goes about recruiting, and to provide advice to players going through the recruiting process. His Fairfield program was also discussed.
