Dr.  Jay  Martin  (COED  6280)  

Head  Coach  -­‐  Ohio  Wesleyan  University    Contact  Information:  [email protected]  //  740-­‐368-­‐3727    How  broad  is  Ohio  Wesleyan  head  coach  Jay  Martin's  record  of  service  to  soccer?  Come  up  with  any  combination  of  level  (high  school,  college,  professional)  and  function  (player,  coach,  administrator),  and  he's  probably  done  it.    Martin  is  the  winningest  coach  in  college  men's  soccer  history  with  a  total  of  640  wins.  He  has  guided  his  37  Battling  Bishop  soccer  teams  to  a  640-­‐119-­‐57  record.    His  career  winning  percentage  was  .817  entering  the  2013  

season  ranks  ninth  all-­‐time.    The  2013  Bishops  won  the  North  Coast  Athletic  Conference  championship  with  a  7-­‐0-­‐2  record,  taking  the  NCAC  title  for  the  sixth  straight  season,  the  13th  time  in  the  last  15  seasons,  and  the  22nd  time  in  the  30  seasons  of  NCAC  competition.    In  37  seasons,  Martin's  teams  have  compiled  a  234-­‐23-­‐14  record  in  conference  play,  a  winning  percentage  of  .889,  and  have  won  25  conference  crowns.    In  2011,  Martin  guided  Ohio  Wesleyan  to  its  second  NCAA  Division  III  national  championship.    Along  the  way,  the  Bishops  extended  their  unbeaten  string  in  NCAC  competition  to  a  league-­‐record  40  games.    Another  peak  in  Martin's  already-­‐illustrious  coaching  career  came  when  he  guided  the  Battling  Bishops  to  the  1998  NCAA  Division  III  championship.    His  teams  have  reached  the  NCAA  Division  III  semifinals  8  times,  finishing  as  national  runner-­‐up  twice  in  addition  to  the  1998  and  2011  titles.  They  have  brought  home  12  regional  titles,  including  9  in  the  last  15  seasons  that  the  NCAA  tournament  included  a  regional  format.  Ohio  Wesleyan  holds  the  NCAA  Division  III  record  with  36  playoff  appearances  and  has  recorded  59  playoff  victories.    Martin's  teams  set  another  NCAA  record  with  18  consecutive  Division  III  tournament  berths  from  1978-­‐95  and  have  won  an  unprecedented  21  Stu  Parry  Awards,  the  latter  recognizing  Ohio's  top  Division  III  team  each  year.    He  has  been  the  NCAA  Regional  Coach  of  the  Year  15  times  in  his  37  years  at  Ohio  Wesleyan  and  was  named  NSCAA  national  Coach  of  the  Year  in  1991,  1998,  and  2011.  In  2000,  Martin  received  the  Ohio  Collegiate  Soccer  Association's  Honor  Award,  only  the  fourth  time  that  award  was  bestowed  since  the  association's  founding  in  1949.  He  received  the  National  Soccer  Coaches  Association  of  America's  Honor  Award  in  2007.    

Under  Martin's  guidance,  Ohio  Wesleyan  was  the  winningest  men's  soccer  team  in  the  NCAA  -­‐-­‐  regardless  of  division  -­‐-­‐  during  the  1980s,  compiling  a  winning  percentage  of  .815  to  top  such  programs  as  Indiana,  UNC-­‐Greensboro  and  UCLA.  The  Battling  Bishops  bettered  that  during  the  1990s,  compiling  a  winning  percentage  of  .825,  and  improved  upon  that  during  the  2000s,  with  a  winning  percentage  of  .827.    His  lacrosse  teams  posted  an  8-­‐year  record  of  104-­‐34,  winning  4  Midwest  Lacrosse  Association  titles,  earning  6  NCAA  playoff  bids  and  twice  making  Martin  the  MLA  Coach  of  the  Year.  And  talk  about  developing  individual  talent  -­‐-­‐  in  both  sports,  in  44  seasons,  Martin  has  turned  out  56  All-­‐America  and  195  All-­‐Mideast  or  All-­‐Midwest  players.    Martin  calls  having  fun  the  key.  "Of  course,  to  have  fun  you  have  to  do  your  best,"  he  adds,  "and  it  helps  to  do  so  against  the  best  competition."  Hence,  the  Bishops'  perennially  ambitious  schedules,  liberally  sprinkled  with  nationally-­‐ranked  opponents.  He  favors  a  skillful,  ball-­‐control  game  and  rates  his  players  as  "first-­‐class  athletes  and  men."    Beyond  coaching,  Martin  also  has  served  soccer  with  a  term  as  president  of  the  National  Soccer  Coaches  Association  of  America  as  well  as  a  6-­‐year  stint  on  the  NCAA  Division  III  selection  committee,  including  4  years  as  committee  chair.  He  has  been  a  color  analyst  of  the  Major  League  Soccer's  Columbus  Crew  for  9  seasons.  In  addition,  he  took  over  as  editor  of  the  NSCAA's  The  Soccer  Journal  in  January,  2003,  becoming  the  publication's  third  editor  since  its  establishment  in  1950.    Martin  is  a  professor  in  Ohio  Wesleyan's  physical  education  department  and  served  as  the  Battling  Bishops'  athletics  director  from  1985-­‐2004.  During  his  19  years  as  athletics  director,  Ohio  Wesleyan  intercollegiate  athletics  enjoyed  unprecedented  success.  Ohio  Wesleyan  won  a  conference-­‐record  6  consecutive  NCAC  all-­‐sports  championships  from  1988-­‐94.  More  recently,  the  Battling  Bishops  finished  in  the  top  25  of  the  NACDA  Directors  Cup  NCAA  Division  III  standings  in  6  of  the  last  8  academic  years  under  Martin's  leadership.    Prior  to  joining  the  Ohio  Wesleyan  faculty,  Martin  served  as  a  2-­‐sport  assistant  at  The  Ohio  State  University,  from  which  he  received  both  M.A.  and  Ph.D.  degrees.  Earlier,  he  was  director  of  sport  at  the  Munich,  Germany,  YMCA,  coaching  soccer,  volleyball,  basketball  and  lacrosse;  and  athletics  director  at  the  American  International  School  at  Dusseldorf.    A  native  of  Hingham,  Mass.,  Martin  received  his  B.A.  degree  from  Springfield  College  in  1971.  He  lettered  in  soccer  and  lacrosse,  earning  All-­‐America  laurels  in  the  latter.  In  Germany,  he  also  played  soccer  for  the  Kaiserwerth  Club,  played  professional  basketball  and  served  on  the  staff  of  the  Volleyball  Pavilion  at  the  1972  Olympics.    Ron  McEachen  (COED  6400)  ~  Bio  and  photo  coming  soon!
