Jeff Phillips
Taylor University Fort Wayne men’s soccer coach is Jeff Phillips. Jeff begins his first season (fall 2007) at TUFW with 15 years of coaching experience under his belt. Coach Phillips brings a fresh new philosophy to this year’s team . . . "Soccer is a simple game. Do the fundamentals well and play an attacking hard nose defense all over the field and good things will happen. Offense wins games, but defense wins championships. You must out work and out think your opponents in all aspects of the game. This applies to all aspects of life, academic, character, teamwork and building the kind of men that will impact the lives of everyone they come in contact with that will glorify our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ."
