Meet Our Head Coach
Francois Milbin
Head Coach & Founder
For more than 20 years, Francois Milbin has dedicated himself to coaching, developing, and mentoring soccer players, building experience across virtually every stage of the player-development pathway.
His coaching journey has taken him from grassroots development through Regional iModel competition, along with experience in Super League soccer, futsal, technical training, and competitive team environments. Throughout his career, Francois has continually studied the game, learning from experienced coaches, mentors, and teachers and incorporating those lessons into his own approach to player development.
Before becoming a coach, Francois grew up playing competitive soccer in Brantford, Ontario. He competed in the Ontario Soccer League and later at the college level in the OCAA, where his team reached the finals in consecutive years.
After college, his passion increasingly shifted from playing the game to teaching it. Much of that journey has included helping develop his son, Deon, while simultaneously coaching and mentoring countless other young players. Today, Deon is continuing his development on scholarship at DME Academy in Daytona Beach, Florida, pursuing his ambition of reaching the national team.
That experience has given Francois a unique perspective on what it takes to develop an aspiring player not simply technically and tactically, but physically, mentally, and emotionally. He believes great coaching requires understanding the individual athlete: knowing when to teach, when to challenge, how to build confidence, and how to motivate players to demand more from themselves.
Francois also brings an extensive background in athlete wellness, performance, and recovery. Through MPR, his vision is to combine technical soccer development with recovery principles and player pathways, creating a more complete approach to long-term athlete development.
His philosophy is simple: develop the player, build the person, and create pathways to the next level.
