Ben Graham joined the Stanford men's soccer staff in February 2014. He serves primarily as the program's goalkeeping coach in addition to assisting with scouting and recruiting duties.

Graham spent the past two seasons (2012-13) on the Northeastern coaching staff as an assistant coach after serving as the head men’s and women’s soccer coach at Marymount College, Palos Verdes for three seasons.

At Northeastern, Graham helped lead the Huskies to their first CAA championship in 2012, an appearance in the NCAA tournament for the first time in a decade and the program’s first NSCAA national ranking. As the goalkeeper coach for Northeastern, he also coached senior Oliver Blum to the fifth-lowest goals-against average (0.56) in the NCAA in 2012.

While at Marymount Graham built the men’s and women’s soccer programs, the school’s first varsity teams, from the ground up as they transitioned to fully accredited NAIA programs. In three seasons he led the Mariners to 31 combined wins and matched a men’s program-best with eight wins in 2010. Under Graham’s tutelage, three Mariners earned all-conference status and two were named NAIA/Daktronics All-Scholar athletes.

Prior to Marymount, Graham was an assistant coach at California State University, Bakersfield for two seasons and assisted in the Roadrunners’ transition from Division II to Division I. He also served as a graduate assistant at the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas, from 2005 to 2007, where he helped lead the Cardinals to the NCAA Division II tournament in both of his seasons.

Originally from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England, Graham received his bachelor of laws and juris doctor degrees from the University of Sheffield (England) in 1996 and 1998, respectively. He played semi-professionally in the U.K. before coming to the United States to pursue coaching at the high school and club level in 2000. He won a high school state championship in Maine in 2002 and was named the NSCAA Coach of the Year in the state.

Graham currently holds a USSF A license, a USSF National Goalkeeping License and an NSCAA Premier Diploma.
