Johannes Steffin is the new head coach of Davie’s boys soccer program. Steffin – who is replacing Russ Fisher, who led the War Eagles for one season – brings more than 20 years of international soccer experience to the team.
Steffin’s soccer career spans both playing and coaching at the highest levels. He played professionally in Berlin, Germany from 1998-2004 before continuing his career as a student-athlete in the United States. From 2004-08, Steffin played college soccer at Southwestern Christian University in Oklahoma City, earning All-American honors four years in a row, and was named MVP All-American in 2008.
In addition to his playing experience, Steffin served as the assistant head coach at Southwestern Christian University from 2009-11, where he helped develop players and grow the university’s soccer program. His coaching background, combined with his years of global experience, will bring a unique perspective to Davie’s soccer program.
Outside of soccer, Steffin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, an American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists approved supervisor, and a qualified clinical supervisor. He holds a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Southern Nazarene University, and a Bachelor of Science in Human and Family Services from Southwestern Christian University. In 2020, Steffin was named one of the Triad Business Journal’s 40 Leaders Under 40 in the Triad.
When asked about the program, Steffin said: “I am very excited to join the Davie County High School soccer program. I look forward to working together with the staff and players to keep building a strong soccer program.”
In 2024, Davie went 4-17-2 overall and 0-14 in the CPC.
