FEATURING ONE OF THE FINEST
COACHING STAFFS IN THE COUNTRY

Bryan Scales
Cornell Men's Head Soccer Coach

As he begins his tenth season at the helm of the Cornell men's soccer program, Bryan Scales continues to build the Big Red into one of the most respected in the region and in the Ivy League. He has compiled a 56-77-13 record over his first nine years and has had his teams ranked in the NSCAA/adidas Top 25 in four different seasons.

The 2005 campaign was highlighted by a pair of memorable Ivy League victories. First, Cornell topped No. 18 Penn 2-1 in Philadelphia, Pa., before returning to Ithaca to take a dramatic last-second victory over Harvard.

The 2001 team finished the year ranked No. 22 nationally with a record of 9-4-3 and Scales was selected by the NSCAA as the 2001 New York-Division I Coach of the Year and was named a finalist for the 2001 NSCAA/adidas Division I National Coach of the Year award. The team ended the 2001 season with a six-game unbeaten streak and was 7-2-2 over the final 11 games of the campaign. The Big Red knocked off NCAA quarterfinalist Penn State 3-1 during the regular season and beat perennial New York challengers Hartwick, Columbia and Syracuse to finish the season ranked second in the New York region. Scales' 2001 team allowed only 15 goals all season.In 2002, the squad opened with a tie at Notre Dame and put together a three-game win streak in the early stages of the season before finishing with a 4-8-4 record.

Scales has traveled extensively to observe the training methods of some of Europe's top clubs. He spent time with the English Premier League champions, Arsenal Football Club, observing training and speaking with both coaches and players about training techniques and methods. In the past, Scales has also visited Glasgow Celtic of the Scottish Premier League and Middlesbrough FC, another English Premier League club. He was fortunate to attend the 2001 Scottish League Cup Final, as well as the UEFA Technical Symposium, as a guest of the Scottish Football Association. In 2003, Scales spent time at training sessions for the Chicago Fire of MLS.
