Since associate head coach Michael Seabolt joined the Missouri State men’s soccer staff in 2007, there has been a noticeable growth in the recruitment of players from all around the world. Not quick to eliminate any option, Seabolt looks at three specific areas of recruiting before determining who would be a good match for future rosters and who could make an impact.

Seabolt breaks down recruiting into three sections: local, regional/national and international.
For Seabolt, recruiting always started on the local level first. Being director of coaching for high school boys for Sporting Springfield, he constantly looks within the club and local clubs to find potential commits.
