Additionally, he organized schedules, travel, and compliance within the program, as well as managing the team's social media presence, ensuring strong engagement both within the team and with alumni, families, and fans.   In his tenure, two players won three total A10 Midfielder of the Year Awards, with Bella Recinos taking it in back-to-back seasons in 2023 and 2024, and the team's first A10 Offensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year since the late 1990s with Melissa Kossler in 2019. In total, 13 players earned A10 All-Conference nods in his time.   In addition to his long-term success with the Minutemen, Mitchell previously was an assistant at the University of Central Florida from 2016-18, where his team made the NCAA Tournament and was ranked 17th nationally; prior to that, he spent two seasons at Rollins College, helping the team to an NCAA Division II National Runner-Up finish and a 20-3 record.   Mitchell holds B Coaching Licenses from both the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and an Advanced National Diploma from United Soccer Coaches (previously the NSCAA).

Miro Gladovic was named Assistant Women's Soccer Coach in January 2026. He will assist in all aspects of the program. Gladovic brings extensive experience in player development, tactical analysis, and international soccer operations. With a diverse background spanning coaching, player representation, media, and global sports consulting, Gladovic adds a broad strategic perspective to the Yellow Jackets’ program both on and off the field. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Gladovic’s journey in the game began at an early age, a lifelong soccer player who took an unexpected turn in his soccer pathway when he became Australia’s first licensed FIFA Players’ Agent and, at the time, the youngest licensed agent in the world. His work in the professional agent’s game led to him exporting countless young Australian soccer players to the big leagues of Europe, including the English Premier League and the German Bundesliga. Since moving to the United States over 15 years ago, his collaborations with elite European clubs including FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich, paved the way for these clubs to open American offices and broaden their footprint in the United States. In his time here, Gladovic has coached within the youth systems of Tampa Bay United and Major League Soccer’s New York Red Bulls, and most recently served three years as Head Coach of multiple Seacoast United teams in New Hampshire. In 2025, he was appointed Assistant Head Coach and Goalkeeper Coach of the Colby-Sawyer College Women’s team, while also serving as Goalkeeper Coach for the men’s program. He holds a United States Soccer Federation (USSF) C License. Gladovic is also the founder of Soccer Family Agent and the World Soccer Resource Center, platforms focused on educating, inspiring and guiding young American players and families through the complexities of collegiate and professional recruitment at both domestic and international levels.
