Seth Cummins
Founder of 40:31 Soccer Academy
I was first introduced to the Beautiful Game when I was only 3 years old! I spent my early childhood living in Venezuela where soccer thrived. I grew up playing in competitive leagues, and eventually found myself playing at the collegiate level.
More important than this game, is my faith. With my love for God, and my love for the game, I find it crucial not only to help others take steps toward their soccer goals, but to also challenge them to grow mentally and spiritually.

When I am not coaching, I am probably hanging out with my lovely wife, Berea. We love watching movies, hiking, playing sports, serving at church, and we absolutely love ice cream!
Experience
2016-2020
Highschool
I started off my freshman year as a varsity starter. Following my two years as an underclassman I led my team as the Captain and leading goal scorer my Junior and Senior Year. During these years I also played for Demise Springfield Soccer Academy. We traveled to multiple states and had a lot of success as a team. By God's grace, my journey did not stop here.
2020-2022
College
I played my freshman year at a D1 JuCo called Mineral Area. After a successful season there, I transferred back home and played my Sophomore year at Crowder College. By this time, I still loved playing, but was ready to take the pitch as a coach, not a player.
2022-Present
Coaching
Following my years playing, I began giving private lessons. I also became the Head Coach for New Heights Academy MS Club team. We finished the season with great success (the best record in over 10 years!). I graduated with a Sports Management Degree, and have spent many hours helping players reach their goals! I am so excited to help you reach your goals too!
