Brendan Finn
Meet the Founder
Founder & Head Personal Coach
Brendan Finn is a former collegiate soccer player, a coach within the Syracuse Development Academy system, and a dedicated private trainer whose entire life has been shaped by the beautiful game. His connection to football runs deeper than the pitch — rooted in Irish heritage and sparked by his grandfather and uncle, who introduced him to the sport before he could fully understand just how much it would define him.
That lifelong obsession now drives everything he does as a coach. With experience spanning elite youth development at SDA and the focused, individualized environment of private training, Brendan brings a rare combination of competitive pedigree and personal investment to every session. He doesn't just teach the game — he studies it, lives it, and channels that relentless passion into helping each player uncover what makes them dangerous on the pitch.
At Finn's Footy, his mission is simple: give every player the tools, the detail, and the edge that most coaches never offer.
