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.
