Kiel McClung

With a background rooted in professional sports and a passion for business development, education, and sports, I have built a unique career encompassing leadership, mentorship, and sales. I started my playing career as a soccer player, attending UCLA on a scholarship. I was drafted by the Los Angeles Galaxy and played professionally for two seasons. After suffering an injury, I moved into coaching, where I honed my leadership skills as the Youth Soccer Director and College Placement Director for a club in the Glendale region. In 2011, I began a role in sales, working in school fundraising, developing a reputation for being a top performer, and building strong relationships with clients. In 2016, my passion for education and mentorship continued to drive me, leading me to accept a role as an Athletic Director at a non-profit charter school, Learn4life. There, I launched a successful athletic program that pivoted to esports due to COVID-19. I also founded an indoor training center that used data and metrics to improve soccer players' performance but had to close due to the pandemic. In 2019, I was drawn to a sports tech platform 360Player, and was eventually promoted to US Partner, combining my sales experience with my passion for sports management. Last, I am an Adjunct Instructor at the University of Antelope Valley, The Master's University, and I serve as an Advisory Board member for a program at UC Riverside. With a well-rounded background and a passion for making a difference in the sports and education industries, I am eager to continue growing and making a positive impact.
