In addition to that, Kohel has served as Head Coach for Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association, based in Hales Corners, Wis. and for the Colorado Rush Soccer Club in Littleton, Colo. as part of the United States Developmental Academy.
In addition to his head coaching experience, Kohel has served as an assistant at both Colorado College and his alma mater, UW-Oshkosh.
