Mike Ambersley Interviewed by Floodplain Footy

S&E Entertainment client Mike Ambersley was recently interviewed by A.C. St. Louis supporters group The Floodplain Footy.


Read the full interview here: Floodplain Footy


A few excerpts from the article:


"The inaugural season for AC St.Louis is over now and the team definitely had it’s ups and downs on the field and off. There were a few bright spots for the team, that’s for sure,  and one of them was Forward Mike Ambersley. Mike recorded the teams first hat trick, was named the USSF Div II Player of the Month for July and ended the season among the division leaders in goals scored with 9, a personal best for his professional career. He was also awarded the St.Louligan 2010 Offensive Player of The Year Award, which was presented by us here at the Floodplain Footy."


"FPF: Besides your hat trick, what was the highlight of the season?

MA: I would have to say advancing to the third round and having the opportunity to play the Galaxy in the Open Cup was pretty special for our team."

Mike Ambersley Wins Supporter's Offensive Player of the Year

S&E Entertainment client Mike Ambersley has been honored by the A.C. St. Louis supporters group, the St. Louligans as their Offensive Player of the Year.


"If you missed the last game, you missed the first annual St. Louligan awards. Over the course of the last several home games we took an unscientific poll at the tailgate parties and elected our players of the year. We decided that the players had given so much to us over the course of the season that we wanted to reward a few of them. So, even though it was "fan appreciation" day at AB Soccer Park- we decided to celebrate our special day by appreciating our team. A few of us talked online and worked to get some sponsors to pay for the awards and we made a few phone calls to get on the program. Without further ado, I present our award winners."


"Offensive player of the year was a near unanimous decision. Mike Ambersley embodied the offense and killer instinct of our first year. He won a special place in our hearts early this season when he scored a killer goal in Portland and mocked their crowd with a little Lumberjack dance of his own. That's how the St. Louligans like it. Great to score, but even better to taunt your victims. Floodplain Footy's Steve Rusnack and Nik Cameron presented Mike with the award. "

American Chronicle (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) Profiles Mike Ambersley

The American Chronicle through the St. Louis Post-Dispatch profiled S&E Entertainment client Mike Ambersley:

"The challenge for Schilly and his team has been to find someone to pair up top with Mike Ambersley. Though Ambersley is a quality goalscorer, the team has just one goal in its past three games.

'A big part of it is,' Schilly said, 'do we have the right partner for Ambersley up front because the guys we're having to play against are bigger, stronger, faster than Mike and it's hard for him. And at the other end, who's the ideal partner for Zach (Bauer) in the center of the back? How are we going to stop them from scoring?'

The problem is that the ideal partner for Ambersley, someone bigger who balls could be played to and who would force opposing defenses to concentrate on, may not be on the roster. Much of the time, Ambersley has to go it alone up top.

'We may not have the answers. I don't know if we have the answers,' Schilly said. 'When he gets his chances, those are the moments where the guys have played the right ball at the right time and Mike's made the right run. Against good teams, it takes a lot of work for us to create chances when it looks like it comes easier for other teams. Mike can get his chances becuase he works so hard but everything else has to fall into place. The right run, the right pass, the right timing, the right weight on the pass.'

'If he has a partner, now he becomes more dangerous, a guy who can pick and choose his moments.'

Mike Ambersley is a professional soccer player from St. Louis, Missouri, currently playing for A.C. St. Louis, which is competing in its first season in the USSF Div. 2 league in the United States.
