Manes Preptit

Manes Preptit was born in Haiti and first came to America at the age of 7 as a refugee. He started playing soccer at age 8. He progressed through club soccer and high school and achieved All-District, All-conference, and All-Region awards. After high school, Manes attended Asbury College and was a four-year starter for the program where he received All-Conference, All-Region awards as runner up to the regional player of the year in 2003. Manes was also awarded honorable mention All American in 2003.
After college, Manes went on to coach two years with Commonwealth Soccer Club. Manes went on to be an assistant coach and JV coach for Lexington Christan Academy. His JV team made history by beating their arch-nemesis for the first time in school history. Two years later, Manes was tasked with turning around a struggling Bryan Station high school soccer team. His team only won 4 games in the first three years, but since then the team has seen their fortunes rise with winning the district for the first time in school history as well as beating Henry Clay, a team that is revered as one of the best programs in the state. Manes was voted as the 2018-19 Kentucky high school coach of the year.
Manes has been coaching for GFC since 2013. He took over a team that had only won 3 games the past two years and finished last in their league to develop the players to go undefeated a year later and only losing one game the following year. Manes has a passion for leading kids to their full potential in a constructive manner. He does not believe in tearing a child down but by leading by example.
Manes’s coaching philosophy is the same as his teaching philosophy as a special education teacher “every kid has potential you just have to find what motivates them and meet them where they are at.” Manes has been called a “player’s coach.” He relates to each player and treats them with respect. He is interested in developing the whole person that includes: skills relevant for winning soccer matches, a competitive spirit, and most importantly good sportsmanship/citizenship.
Manes has sent many players to play in college including two players that went on to play for the University of Louisville and two others are that are now playing professionally MLS and below.
