GREENVILLE COLLEGE PANTHER SOCCER1

NCCAA And Member School Begin Circle of InfluenceBy Brian McMahon, Head Men’s and Women’s Soccer Coach, Greenville College (IL)GREENVILLE COLLEGE PANTHER SOCCER2Ifirst heard of the National ChristianCollege Athletic Association (NCCAA)and its member institution, IndianaWesleyan University (IWU), througha prison ministry that was taking place inmy hometown of Mansfield, Ohio. IWU’ssoccer team came over to Mansfield when Iwas a sophomore in high school to ministerto the inmates. My family housed playersfrom the team. At that time I met the HeadMen’s Soccer Coach, who would beginmaking a tremendous impact on my life.I maintained contact with the coachthroughout my Junior and Senior years ofhigh school as IWU would continue theirministry at the prison playing against theinmates. Although I had offers from severalother colleges, I wanted to obtain a degreefrom an NCCAA Division I Christian college.Because of the impact the IWU team hadon me, I chose to attend Indiana WesleyanUniversity and played on the men’s varsitysoccer team.However, this was also a time in mylife that I was facing some struggles. I hadbegun to let my ego get the best of meand began a drug addiction. My drug usebegan when I was a junior in high schooland remained until I was a sophomore atIWU. However, my coach continued towitness to me and be a role model for meto follow.Even though I had always knownChrist as my personal Savior, I was alukewarm Christian at best (Revelation 3:16“So then, because you are lukewarm, andneither cold nor hot, I will vomit you outof My mouth.”) Not only did my gradessuffer as I began my education at IWU,but so did my physical conditioning leveland playing time for the soccer team.My caliber of play was not what it couldhave been, and I knew it. Most of all, myspiritual conditioning was on the path toeternal destruction. I was not able to givemy best—to my education, my team, mycoach, my family, nor my God.My sophomore year was one of lifechangingproportions. The NCCAA andIWU helped me to turn my life aroundthrough the emphasis of Christ throughathletics. I played in the NCCAA NationalSoccer Tournament at Lee University(TN). The NCCAA had invited MichelleAkers Stahl, USA National Women’s SoccerTeam, to speak at the national tournamentbanquet. Her message and testimonyhelped me realize where I was spirituallyand to determine where I wanted to gowith my life and career. I came to realizethat I didn’t have to take drugs or drinkto play at the top level. For some reasonI had thought that the two went hand inhand. As I recommitted my life to God, Ibegan to excel in the various areas of mylife, including athletics. My junior year atIWU brought another chance to play atthe NCCAA National Soccer Tournamentat LeTourneau University (TX) followed bycompleting my college career at the NAIARegionals my senior year, receiving honorsboth years.The Lord allowed my experiencesto shape who I am and what I do today.Following graduation I pursued a field ofsubstance abuse counseling in which Ireceived certification at the CCDC I level tocomplement my B.S. Degree in Psychologyfrom IWU. For three years following mygraduation, I served as a primary counselorfor alcoholics and addicts in a detoxificationunit in a hospital while coaching soccerat the high school level. Although I wascoaching, I missed the NCCAA and theChristian college environment.Knowing the impact the NCCAA hadon my life, I began searching the NCCAAweb site and found a job with an NCCAAmember institution, Greenville College (IL),where I could enjoy serving as both HeadMen’s Soccer Coach and Substance AbuseCounselor. God has certainly led me here,allowed me to use my experiences to helpothers, and topped it off by allowing me touse athletics to impact the lives of studentathletes,hopefully continuing the circle inmy life.Will you assist the NCCAA in theirministry? It made a difference in my lifeand now I am continuing the circle byimpacting the lives of my student-athletes.Your prayers and financial gifts make adifference.Serving Christ through athletics,Brian McMahonA Message From Our Athletic DirectorDr. Doug FaulknerAs we approach the 2008 soccer season, we are reminded of the rich tradition and history of PantherSoccer.

McMahon Learns From Premier League TeamCoach’s Time With English TeamCould Open Eyes To GC SoccerBy Bill Walker | Reprinted with permission fromThe Greenville AdvocateGREENVILLE COLLEGE PANTHER SOCCER12Brian McMahon has been searching for somebody totalk to.The head coach for both the men’s and women’s soccerteams at Greenville College just completed a successfulcampaign that included a combined 21 victories between bothsquads, including a program best nine by the women’s team.But the strong season, although impressive, isn’t what McMahonwants to talk about.McMahon recently returned from a week-longtrip where he followed coaches, players and staff of theMiddlesborough English Premier League Soccer Club.He arrived back in the United States last week toan empty campus at Greenville College.Because students,professors and coaches have left the school for the holidaybreak, McMahon has very few people to tell his story.trip.“It was an awesome experience,” McMahon said of theFor a man who grew up eating and breathing soccer,and now coaching a college program, the trip was an experienceof a lifetime.“It was, in essence, similar to me following Tony LaRussaand the Cardinals around for a week,” he said. “Obviously soccer’snot as big here, but in England, it’s life.”For McMahon, it’s always been life.The Mansfield, Ohio native began playing soccer atthe age of four. While his friends were idolizing players on theCleveland Browns and Cleveland Indians, McMahon grew upwanting to be just like players on the Liverpool Football Club.“My room has always been decorated in PremierLeague stuff,” he said.His love of soccer grew as he played the game atMansfield Christian High School and later excelled on the fieldat Indiana Wesleyan University.Now, after his sixth season at the helm of the Greenvillemen’s team where he has resurrected a struggling programto become a perennial power in the St. Louis IntercollegiateAthletic Conference (SLIAC), McMahon took advantage of anopportunity he was presented during the past summer.For one week in each of the past three summers,McMahon has helped teach at a camp in Seattle conducted bylegendary American college soccer coach Cliff McCrath.During those annual trips west, McMahon becamefriends with Paul Barron, a soccer coach with Middlesborough.This summer, Barron invited McMahon to join him inEngland for a week.“I was chomping at the bit,” McMahon said. TheGreenville coach was joined by McCrath’s son, Steve, also acoach at Barry University near Miami, Florida.“I left on the trip, excited to have my eyes broadened tothe game as a business and structurally,” he said. “That’s exactlywhat I found.”McMahon calls himself structured, detailed andfuturistic, and who could argue.In six seasons at GC, McMahon has brought the men’sprogram from struggling to where it is now.“When I took over, I had five players, two of which hadnever seen any substantial time,” he said.Since then, the Panthers have seen an increase fromfour wins to 14. The team has also appeared in two consecutiveSLIAC postseason tournament championship matches.As structured as McMahon may be, he admits hisattention to detail cannot compare to that of a professionalsoccer team.McMahon spent the week shagging balls,catching kicks and watching. As he watched, he was amazed at

how specific Middlesborough’s coaching methods are.“Some people think (soccer) is just a bunch of guysrunning around out there. With eight-year-olds it is, but when itgets to the professional aspect there are one-on-one matchupsthat they try to isolate,” he said.For Middlesborough, as is the case with all EnglishPremier League teams, there is a coach for everything. Defense,offense, special plays, weight training and physical therapy allhave their own coaches. Standing over all of them is the teammanager. In Middlesborough’s case, the manager is GarrethSouthgate.Southgate, a former player on the English nationalteam, told McMahon upon meeting him that nothing was offlimits during his visit.“I took advantage,” McMahon said.He toured the club’s entire facility, a complex hedescribed as amazing. Eight practice fields surround the club,located away from the stadium.“The grass is like a putting green, just magnificent,”McMahon said.And players also get to enjoy the best the sport hasto offer inside the building. Each player, there are over 20 onthe Middlesborough roster, has his own “kit room” where herequests whatever equipment he might want for that particularday.An entire room is devoted to shoes, not to mention theweight room, sauna, physical therapy and cafeteria areas.While visiting the team, McMahon enjoyedMiddlesborough’s match with Wigan Athletic from the President’sBox where he sat next to the billionaire owner of the team, aswell as players that were suspended due to carding situationsand other team officials.Despite all the luxuries, the Middlesborough club sitsin the lower half of the Premier League.Currently, Middlesborough is in 14th place in theEnglish Premier League standings, trailing the league leadingteam Manchester United by 27 points.“As is the case here, money rules,” McMahon said.Teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool andArsenal annually vie for the championship while other teamsfight for relegation. In relegation, the bottom three teams ofthe league are demoted to the English Championship League.The top three Championship League teams then advance toparticipate in the Premier League the next season.The fact that Middlesborough has remained in thePremier League for nearly 20 years speaks volumes about thecoaching staff.McMahon hopes to include some of the practices hewitnessed at Middlesborough to improve his program.Some of the drills, McMahon stated, are already usedin his practices. But variations based on speed and increasedpressure could be used to improve his team’s ability in tightsituations.Additionally, some of the weight room practices usedby the Middlesborough club will be instilled in the Pantherprogram.“Right now, our players use weight training Mondays,Wednesdays and Fridays during the off season, but that won’tbegin until January,” he said.As a contrast, Middlesborough players work daily oncore strength, before and after practices.“I’ll certainly incorporate some of that into our weightroom workout,” he said.But one area where McMahon and the GC programcould really see an impact of the trip, and more importantly theassociation with a Premier League team, is in recruiting.“As a coach, for the rest of my career, I will be able toshare my experiences with recruits,” he said.“Whether it’s used as a conversation piece, or gettingrespect from a recruit, which is a big deal, slight things canchange the decision of a recruit,” he said. “This is one of thosethings recruits could find very interesting.”“For me to get to the point in my coaching careerwhere I’m interacting with these types of players, it’s just anunbelievable deal,” he said. “In some regards, it really hasn’t sunkin.”GREENVILLE COLLEGE PANTHER SOCCER13
