A Coach on the Move
Tino Sangster spent two years at the helm of the Apopka High School girls soccer program, guiding the Blue Darters to back‑to‑back district championship games while posting a 17‑17‑1 record.
Beyond the win‑loss ledger, Sangster prized the atmosphere he cultivated among players ranging from seasoned travel‑team veterans to first‑time field participants, describing the resulting camaraderie as the most rewarding aspect of his Apopka stint.
A four‑game winning streak midway through the 2025‑26 campaign marked a turning point, after which Sangster abandoned a traditional top‑down approach in favor of a more collaborative style that emphasized shared decision‑making with his squad.
The experience prompted him to pursue formal certification, culminating in a U.S. Soccer B license and a clear ambition to attain the prestigious A license, a stepping stone toward positions with elite clubs, college programs or professional development pathways.
Sangster’s long‑term vision includes a return to the international stage, specifically a desire to coach Jamaica’s national teams, a dream he credits to the influence of his family, mentors and the players who have shaped his career.
A recent photograph of Sangster sharing a high‑five with Lorelei Mojzisek encapsulates the community spirit that defined his Apopka tenure, while longtime assistant coach Joe Chandler publicly praised his former colleague’s growth and impact.
