Hello parents and Panthers! My name is Alberto Mederos, and I am excited to be the Head Coach for the Mighty Football team for the upcoming 2024-2025 season.

I would like to share some brief information about my coaching experience and myself. I am married to my wife (Leslie) and have three beautiful kids; Olivia (13), Owen, and William (10). I have always enjoyed playing football growing up and played at Clayton HS with tremendous success. I served in the military for 20 years and during that time continued to play and coach football.

In 2020, after I retired from the military, me and my family moved back to Clayton, N.C. and I started to become involved with youth sports. I have previously held Head Coach positions at GCAA soccer 1 season, I-9 Sports 4 seasons, Clayton Civitan 7V7 1 season, Assistant Coach Greater Cleveland Football Mighty’s 1 season, current team medic with Elite Youth Soccer Club / Travel 4 seasons, and Soldier to Sideline (NFL) coaching certified.

I have always had a passion to help and know it is hard to find volunteer support in today society. Last year I was privileged to be the Assistant Coach of the Mighty’s and really enjoyed working with the young men and hope to continue to build on the knowledge and love for the game. The people in the Panther Youth Football Organization are dedicated in developing, guiding, and mentoring the young men that come through the program.

I look forward to being a part of the program and teaching and mentoring the Mighty’s on and off the field and cannot wait to see what this season brings. I hope to get to know everyone better as we start some events soon and the coaches are looking forward to teaching and developing these young men in becoming better players on the field and in the classroom. Thank you again for allowing your child to be a part of this season!
BE READY PANTHERS!!!
