Changes inside coaching staff!

We got to know another name of the coach to soon join Dave Christensen's staff at the Olympic Stadium!

Less than 6 months remain until the European League of Football season and work on the final appearance of the Panthers coaching staff continues. This time, Coach Christensen decided to slightly adjust the duties in the staff, shifting Coach Ariel Back to the position of offensive line coach. Let us remind you that coach Back is an Israeli coach, who in the 2022 season represented the purple and yellow of the current ELF champions - Vienna Vikings.

The role of the Running Backs Coach is taken over by the newest element of the staff - coach Mason Keeler.

As a player, coach Keeler was a part of the NCAA Division 1 Wyoming Cowboys team that won the 2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. After graduating, Keeler stayed at University of Wyoming as a Graduate Assistant. In 2022 coach Keeler coached linebackers at D2 Seton Hill Griffins in Pennsylvania to finally join Panthers in the third European League of Football season!

Coach, why did you choose Panthers as the next step in your career?

This is an exciting time in the European League of Football as the attraction to the sport of football increases in Europe. I chose the Panthers to work with Dave Christensen and the rest of his seasoned staff and players.

What is your coaching style?

I am a firm believer that we need to build great habits, and have an intense focus on the fundamentals and little details of the game. 

What should players expect of you?

Execution of the mundane. We are going to be great at the most basic parts of our craft. We are going to be accountable, reliable and undeniable. 

What's the new quality you bring to the organization?

We have a seasoned coaching staff prepared to guide the Wroclaw Panthers to the ELF Championship. Our players are diverse and highly skilled. I bring unbridled enthusiasm to the game as a coach and previous collegiate player. 

Few words to the Panthers Nation fanbase!

I am honored to join you in your beautiful and historic city. I look forward to hearing you cheer on your Wroclaw Panthers. Our running game will be dynamic and potent.

“Coach Back has Great knowledge of offensive line play. He is right in line with myself philosophically and will be a great asset to our Big men on the offensive line.

Coach Keeler came to us highly recommended. He will coach both our Running-backs as well as our Tight Ends. He is a young energetic coach with a great passion for the game.

This rounds out our Offensive Coaching Staff.” - sums up Panthers’ Head Coach Dave Christensen.
