The REPORTER

Mike Brady, the longtime Noblesville girls soccer coach who led the Millers to five state championships, announced that he is retiring.

In a Friday afternoon post on X (formerly Twitter), Brady praised the city of Noblesville, the high school, the parents and of course, the players that he mentored over the past 22 years.

“I’ve witnessed tremendous growth within the city of Noblesville, yet it’s still a community that rallies around and supports its school and its students,” Brady said in the statement. “As the student population nearly tripled at the high school, the student boys continued to offer unwavering support of their friends and classmates. Parents volunteered countless hours so their daughters could have the best experience possible being a part of Noblesville soccer. You have all demonstrated that we truly are together.

“To all the players that I have been fortunate enough to coach, I’ve seen you learn that it’s important to set goals, and that there are some goals that can only be achieved with the help and support of others. I am grateful for every one of you and the lessons you have taught me. I wouldn’t have become the person I am if it weren’t for you. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives.”

Brady became the head coach of the Millers in 2003 after serving as an assistant coach the two previous years (2001-02). He went on to compile a record of 310-47-48, winning nine sectional and eight regional championships.

The past six years for Noblesville soccer have been something special. The Millers won five state titles, starting with two in 2019 and 2020. Noblesville lost to Homestead in the 2021 regional, but bounced back to win three consecutive state championships in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Brady began his Noblesville coaching career on the boys soccer team. He was an assistant from 1993 to 1995, then served as the head coach in 1996, a year the Miller boys won sectional and regional titles.
