Evan Dresel is the Head Coach of the Oklahoma Christian Women's Soccer Program. He is a staple of the soccer community in the OKC area, having been coaching/playing in the location his entire life. He has invested heavily in the game and the game has invested more back into him. I loved getting the perspective of a college coach on how they navigate the Transfer Portal from a D2 perspective and his team building approach to coaching. Motivational, technical, and committed are three words the best describe his style of coaching.
