John Michael Stollmeyer (born October 25, 1962, in
High school and college
Stollmeyer, a native of
U.S. Olympic Sports Festival
In the early 1980s, the U.S. Olympic organization initiated the Olympic Sports Festival as a means of identifying and training prospective Olympians. In soccer, the organization divided prominent amateur players into four teams, north, south, east and west. Stollmeyer was a member of the East Regional Team for the 1982, 1983 and 1985 Olympic Sports Festivals.
Cleveland Force
In 1985, Stollmeyer was drafted by the
WSL/APSL
When the Cleveland Force closed in 1988, he moved to the
National teams
While in high school, he played on the U.S. team at the 1981 FIFA World Youth Championship in Australia. Stollmayer also was on the U.S. team at the 1983 Pan American Games.[3] During his time with the Force, Stollmeyer was a member of the 1987 Pan American Games U.S. team. In Indianapolis, the U.S. defeated Trinidad and Tobago 3-0, tied El Salvador 0-0, but lost to Argentina 0-2. The 1-1-1 record gave the U.S. 2nd place in its pool, but not enough to advance out of group play. That year he was also a member of the U.S. 1987 Summer Universiade soccer team in Zagreb, Croatia.
The following year Stollmeyer played for the U.S. team at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. That team tied Argentina and South Korea, then lost to the Soviet Union. Once again, Stollmeyer's team failed to exit group play.
Despite the professional disappointments, Stollmeyer still made the U.S. team for the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy. However, in this last major international tournament of his career, Stollmeyer's team again failed to exit group play, losing to Italy, Czechoslovakia and Austria.
Coaching
After he retired from playing professionally, Stollmeyer spent time as an assistant coach with Notre Dame.
Post-soccer career
Stollmeyer is a Vice President of investments for Raymond James in Indianapolis.[4]
