Available to hire
I am Glenn Crooks, a broadcaster, coach, and writer with decades of experience across soccer media, coaching at the collegiate and club levels, and a passion for storytelling. I have hosted and produced multiple podcasts, commentated at the highest levels, and authored works that translate the game to fans and players alike. My career blends on-air performance with hands-on coaching, player development, and media production, all aimed at growing the sport and sharing insightful perspectives with diverse audiences.
I’m enthusiastic about mentoring, public speaking, and creating engaging content—from live broadcasts to podcasts and written columns. I’ve collaborated with teams, leagues, and media partners to bring authentic soccer coverage to fans, while guiding emerging players and coaches through experiences drawn from a long career in both football operations and media work.
