WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - The Palm Beach Atlantic women's soccer program added a member to its coaching staff today as they announced the hiring of Brandon Medina as the team's assistant soccer coach.

Medina joins PBA after a playing career at West Florida. In his time with the Argonauts, he was a member of teams that made the NCAA Tournament in back-to-back seasons and won the 2021 Gulf South Conference Tournament Championship and the 2022 GSC regular season championship. He played in the National Premier Soccer League with Pensacola FC from 2020 to 2022 before moving into a coaching capacity.

Over the past three seasons, Medina has been coaching with the youth squads of the Colorado Rapids and Coastal Rush in Dever, Colorado. During that time, he worked in an on-field training role, providing tailored training sessions as well as off-the-field strength and conditioning and film analysis work with the teams. 

Medina will serve as head coach Stephanie Cradduck's lead assistant as she begins her first season at the helm of the program. The Sailfish kick off play on September 5 at Saint Leo before playing their home opener against Mississippi College two days later.
