Phil Schmidt has been named as the new head boys soccer coach at Fishers High School.
Schmidt comes to Fishers after a successful twelve year run as the head boys soccer coach at Avon High School. Schmidt compiled a record of 181-40-31 at Avon along with four Hoosier Crossroads Conference championships, nine sectional championships, five regional championships, two final fours and a state runner-up finish in 2013. Prior to Avon, Schmidt was the head boys soccer coach at Lutheran High School where he led the program for five seasons and compiled a record of 40-38-8 along with sectional and regional titles in 1999. Schmidt also teaches Business Education courses at Fishers High School.
“I am very excited to begin working with our players and to grow this program into one our school and community will be proud of,” said Schmidt. “My vision for the program is clear, we want to have a winning record every season, compete for HCC championships and work towards the goal of regular long runs in the state tournament. We will compete to be one of the top teams in the state year in and year out. We will achieve those goals with great teamwork, a common mindset and a winning culture. This will lead to sustained success and the development of a tradition of excellence.”
“We are ecstatic to bring Coach Schmidt aboard as an educator and coach for Fishers High School,” said Fishers athletic director Rob Seymour. “Coach Schmidt has proven himself as a quality teacher and coach and we look forward to him guiding our Boys Soccer program and adding value to our entire Athletic Department.”
