Paul Rogers
	Position: Assistant Coach Experience: 2nd Season Alma Mater: Indianapolis (2004)

Paul Rogers is in his second season at Florida State where his primary responsibilities with the Seminoles include the training of the goalkeepers and team defense, as well as recruiting and scouting duties. Rogers joined the Seminole coaching staff in the summer of 2007 after spending two years as an assistant with the women's soccer program at the University of Louisville.

In his first season as the goalkeeper coach in Tallahassee, the Seminoles posted 12 shutouts and a 0.93 GAA in Florida State's run to its first appearance in the national championship game. The 12 shutouts were the second most recorded in school history while the goals against average ranked third all-time. The defensive effort was just as impressive as the Seminole backline allowed a goal or less in 18 games including a school record three shutouts in the NCAA Tournament.

Rogers played an integral role in the success of first-year goalkeeper Erin McNulty, who started all 27 games between the posts for the Seminoles in 2007. She went on to set freshman records for wins (18), shutouts (8) and GAA (0.94), while becoming the first Seminole keeper to record five wins in the NCAA Tournament. McNulty went on to receive Second Team and Fourth Team Freshman All-America accolades by Soccer America and Soccer Buzz, respectively. Most notably, McNulty was in net for the U-20 Canadian National Team that defeated the United States U-20 squad 1-0 in the finals of the CONCACAF Tournament in Puebla, Mexico in June of 2008. The win secured a spot for Team Canada in the upcoming U-20 World Cup which will be held in Chile in late November.

Roger's work at Florida State in his first season did not go unnoticed as he was tabbed to serve in the same role for the Canadian Women's National Team in February of 2008. He will be on the sideline this summer in an effort to lead Team Canada to Olympic Gold in Beijing. Rogers will return to his everyday duties at Florida State upon the completion of the Summer Olympics.

At Louisville, Rogers oversaw all recruiting matters as well as working with the development of the goalkeepers. In 2006, the Cardinals had their finest season in the 22-year history of the sport setting the school record for wins (13) and winning percentage (.725) as well as making their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Defense was the name of the game for Louisville in 2006 as the Cardinals allowed just 10 goals in 20 games giving up two or more goals in a game just once, that coming from the hands of national runner-up Notre Dame in South Bend (2-0).

Rogers was a major contributor to the success of the Cardinal defense in 2006 working with Soccer Buzz fourth team All-American keeper Joanna Haig. Haig started 15 games in net for Louisville setting the single-season record for GAA at 0.49, while tying the single-season record for shutouts with eight. Overall, the Cardinals posted 11 shutouts and a GAA of 0.47. Before arriving in the Blue Grass state, Rogers spent a year as an assistant at Tulane University where he held the same responsibilities.

A native of Brighton, England, Rogers brings a great deal of goalkeeping experience to Tallahassee as he is the founder and director of Paul Rogers Goalkeeping. He also served as a camp director for 10 years at Soccerplus Goalkeeping School, the largest goalkeeping school in the United States. There, he worked with both U.S. and International goalkeepers and coaches as well as overseeing the operation of the camp and training of the staff members.

His coaching background also includes stints as a youth coach with Brighton and Hove Albion (English Pro team), a Region II goalkeeping coach, Indiana ODP coach and Kentucky ODP coach. He has earned a UEFA B License, USSF B License, UEFA Goalkeeper License, an English Football Association Certificate and NSCAA Goalkeeper's Licenses.

In addition, Rogers joined the USSF (United States Soccer Federation) goalkeeping instructional staff in 2006 where he teaches the Goalkeeping section of the USSF A, B, and C Licenses. He is also a part of the NSCAA goalkeeping staff where he instructs the State, Regional and National courses and helped present part of the NSCAA State License at the 2007 NSCAA Convention in Indianapolis.

As a player, Rogers had spells at numerous Pro and Semi-Pro clubs in England where he played at the goalkeeper position. Paul represented Great Britain in the World University Games in Daegu, South Korea, and also played professionally in the United States for the A-League Indiana Blast.

Rogers earned a bachelor's degree in sport administration in 2004 at the University of Indianapolis and is married to the former Lisa Harrison. Harrison played basketball at the University of Tennessee where she helped the Lady Volunteers to the 1991 National Championship. Harrison also played six years in the WNBA with the Phoenix Mercury.
