Patrick Seymour enters his 12th season in Fall 2025 as Long Beach State’s goalkeeper coach.
Under Seymour’s mentorship, Aurora Schuck was named Big West Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 23, 2024 after posting back-to-back shutouts against Cornell and UC Riverside. Schuck played every minute (1620) for LBSU in 2024, ending the regular season with the 58th most in Division I beginning this week. She made 74 saves,the fifth most in the Big West in the category. Schuck’s season-high in saves was nine, which she made against UCLA in the season opener.
His goalies own three of the program’s 10 best single-season goals-against average, total saves, and shutouts. Among them is all-time single-season leader Ashton McKeown, who posted a 0.62 goals-against average in 2015. McKeown also owns the second-most saves in a season, totaling 91 during Seymour’s first season in 2014.
After working with the UCLA men’s soccer team from 2009-13, Seymour came to the Beach. During his five years, the Bruins advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight four times and to the College Cup in 2011. He coached Brian Perk and Brian Rowe to All-American seasons in 2009 and 2011, respectively. Rowe is now the starting keeper for the LA Galaxy. In addition, Seymour mentored Earl Edwards, who earned All-America recognition in 2013.
Seymour was the head goalkeeper coach for the Cal-South ODP program from 2002-11 and was a member of the goalkeeping staff for the Region IV ODP program. He trained and helped develop over a dozen national and regional youth team members. He also won three national titles with his teams.
Seymour has also had a strong presence on the club scene, working with Beach FC, Santa Clarita United, Santa Monica United, and the Westside Breakers. He also coached the soccer team and serves as an associate professor in the kinesiology department at Santa Monica College.
