Entering his eighth season on the Clark University women’s soccer sideline, Brady has led the team to four straight NEWMAC Tournament berths – including semifinals appearances in 2004 and 2005 - and guided the Cougars (12-8-1) to the 2005 ECAC Championship game for the first time in program history. Additionally, Brady transformed Clark’s 2002 3-14 record into a winning 9-8-1 mark in 2004 – a record best since 2000.
Brady has 12 years of coaching experience and holds a 113-104-11 career record. Brady spent five years as the head women’s soccer coach at Anna Maria College, where he was a four-year goalkeeper and team captain for the AMCATS. His coaching prowess led the AMCATS to three Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) finals and a 67-31-5 overall record, establishing the team as one of the top programs in the league. Brady received conference coach-of-the-year honors after leading the team to a school-record 17 wins and the CCC Championship in 1997.
Brady’s credentials include a National Coaching Diploma from the NSCAA, and a U.S.S.F “C” license. He was a goalkeeper coach for the Massachusetts State Team and has directed the Worcester Youth Soccer Association goalkeeper clinic and Clark’s Soccer Excellence clinics – a goalkeeper session and weeklong training for high school teams. In addition, Brady coached four years for the Inter Soccer Club and recently took a position as a goalkeeper coach for the Massachusetts ODP program. He will also serve as a goalkeeper coach for the FC United Soccer Club.
In addition to coaching soccer, Brady serves as the Intramural Director. He resides in Worcester, MA with his wife Melissa and newborn Keira.
Assistant Coaches
Rick Lindsten
 Rick Lindsten joined Clark's women's soccer program in the fall of 2008 after a one-year stint as the men's soccer goalkeeper coach at Anna Maria College and former varsity girls coach at Wachusett Regional High School (1996-2006), where he was the winningest coach in program history with a 138-54-29 mark.
A three-year varsity player at Quabbin Regional High School, he is still the all-time goals (60) and points (81) leader for the Panthers. Lindsten went on to play one year at Assumption College (1976-77) before being sidelined by a career ending injury.
He will primarily work with the goalkeepers at Clark.
Holly McGrath
 Holly McGrath, from Naugatuck, Conn., was added to the coaching staff after playing four years for an Assumption team that advanced to a pair of NCAA Regional Tournaments (2004-2005). As one of the backbones of the Greyhounds' defense, she also earned third-team Northeast-10 Conference honors and New England Women's Intercollegiate Soccer Association (NEWISA) first-team accolades.
McGrath graduated in 2007 with a degree in English.
