Steve Shak (born February 8, 1978 in Cerritos, California) is a retired American soccer player. He is currently an assistant coach with the Charlotte Eagles of the USL Second Division.

A former UCLA college standout and Major League Soccer number one draft pick, Shak spent four years in the American top league with the MetroStars and with Colorado Rapids, but with the exception of a brief stint in Sweden, spent the majority of his career in the USL, including extended periods with the Virginia Beach Mariners and the Eagles.

Career

College

Shak played college soccer at UCLA, where he started out as a walk-on and became a starter, helping the Bruins to the College Cup in 1997. He also played for the United States at under-23 level.

Professional

With the MetroStars coming off the worst season in MLS history in 1999, they were given the first pick in the 2000 MLS SuperDraft. Despite Shak being projected to go in the third or fourth round, and such highly-rated prospects as Nick Garcia, Carlos Bocanegra, and Danny Califf on the board, the Metros drafted Shak; the team's head coach, Octavio Zambrano, coached Shak on youth teams.

Shak spent a year and a half with the MetroStars, playing on defense as well as midfield, scoring a goal and an assist. Late in the 2001 season, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for Ross Paule. He played one minute for the Rapids in 2002, going on loan to the Hampton Roads Mariners for two games. Shak then signed with the Minnesota Thunder of the USL A-League. In 2004, Shak played for Bodens BK. He then returned to the United States and signed with the Virginia Beach Mariners. When the Mariners folded in early 2007, Shak switched to the Charlotte Eagles. He made his debut for them on April 20, 2007, scoring one goal in a 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace Baltimore, and subsequently played 51 times for the team before retiring after the end of the 2009 season.

International

In 2005, Shak was a replacement player during the U.S. national team labor dispute.
