Adin Brown is a renowned American soccer coach and former player, currently serving as the goalkeeping coach for San Jose Earthquakes in Major League Soccer. With an impressive career spanning over two decades, Brown has made a lasting impact on the sport, particularly in the realm of goalkeeping.
Born on May 27, 1978, in Pleasant Hill, California, Brown attended De La Salle High School in Concord, California. During his time at De La Salle, he was an integral part of the school's soccer team, which has been inducted into the Hall of Fame. The 1996 team, which Brown was a part of, holds the distinction of being the only team in school history to have a perfect record, with no goals conceded in the regular season.
Brown's exceptional skills as a goalkeeper earned him a spot at the College of William and Mary, where he played collegiate soccer. In 1999, he became only the third goalkeeper in NCAA history, alongside Tony Meola and Brad Friedel, to be named NCAA First Team All-American twice.
The Colorado Rapids selected Brown as the third overall pick in the 2000 MLS SuperDraft. However, his professional career was marred by injuries, which hindered his growth as a player. Despite this, Brown was part of several notable trades, including a deal that sent Carlos Valderrama from the Tampa Bay Mutiny to Colorado.
In 2002, Brown signed with the New England Revolution, where he had his most successful season. He won the starting job from Juergen Sommer midway through the year and led the Revolution to the brink of winning the MLS Cup. His impressive performance earned him call-ups to the senior national team, although he didn't receive any caps.
After a stint with Aalesund in Norway, Brown returned to the United States and began his transition into coaching. He has since become a respected goalkeeping coach, with his current role at San Jose Earthquakes being a testament to his expertise.
