Meet Craig Horne
Coach

Craig is a transformational coach and mentor with over 20 years of experience guiding individuals through growth, identity, and purpose. His journey began in South Africa, where he trained professionally in soccer and stood out as a top athlete. That foundation led him to the United States, where he has gone on to coach and mentor some of the top soccer players in the Northeast.
Craig specializes in working with boys, young men, and athletes—especially those who are reluctant to engage in traditional therapy or personal development. His authentic, grounded approach builds trust quickly, allowing him to connect deeply with clients who often feel misunderstood or resistant to support. Whether on the field or in life, Craig helps young people step into their potential, build emotional resilience, and grow lasting self-confidence.
His coaching is rooted not only in lived experience but also in spiritual counseling, allowing him to support clients holistically, exploring who they are beyond performance—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. He meets each person where they are, offering guidance that integrates mindset, character development, and values-based decision-making.
Craig holds a bachelor’s degree from Lander University in South Carolina and an “A” License in soccer coaching from the United States Soccer Federation. In addition, Craig earned the Premier Diploma from the United Soccer Coaches- the association’s top technical and personal development certification. His presence is consistently described as committed, encouraging, and real—a steady source of support for those navigating life’s most formative seasons.
“I believe you are a champion, and I will believe it for you, until you believe it for yourself.”
