MEET YOUR AREA CAPTAIN
Greg Rubendall
Hello NAofA Family and Friends!
My name is Greg Rubendall, and I am thrilled to be joining the National Academy of Athletics on September 1.
I’ve been passionate about movement my entire life, with a special love for soccer and its many variations. Over the past 30+ years, I’ve served as a trainer, coach, teacher, program lead, coaching director, technical director, founder, and entrepreneur. Through these roles, I’ve had the privilege of working with people of all ages and backgrounds—from “cradle to grave.”
One thing I’ve learned is that the journey is always filled with challenges. The strongest are those who embrace setbacks as part of the process, stay focused on their goals, and measure success not only by achievements realized but also by those still to come.
I look forward to bringing this philosophy to NAofA and helping young athletes grow in confidence, resilience, and love for the game.
Play Hard, Have Fun!
