| Doug Williamson |
Doug Williamson, a member of the NSCAA Academy staff since 1987, is the Association's Assistant Director of Coaching Education and Development.
A member of the Association’s Academy staff since 1987, Williamson was named to the Senior Academy Staff in 2005. His efforts for the NSCAA were recognized in 2006 when he was presented the Mike Berticelli Excellence in Coaching Education award. He joined the NSCAA National Office staff after serving two years as the director of education and training for the Greater Harford (Md.) Soccer Club.
Williamson brings broad-ranging experience to his position, having coached both genders at the youth, high school and college levels. At the collegiate level he has compiled an overall coaching record of 309-147-16. He has guided teams to an overall record of 207-94-7, along the way earning NAIA and NCAA Division III national rankings.
A member of Phi Beta Kappa, he received his bachelor of arts degree from Rockford College in 1974. He also holds two master’s degrees, one in theological studies from Harvard and another in divinity from Methodist Theological School, as well as a Ph.D. in philosophy from Boston University.
After stints as an assistant coach at Ohio Wesleyan University, MIT and Kenyon College, Williamson embarked on his career as a head coach, leading the Curry College women’s program to two NCAA Division III tournament appearances and a ranking as high as No. 5 in the nation with a 64-40-4 record in six seasons. From there he went to Wellesley College, reeling off three consecutive winning seasons and a 32-20-2 mark.
He then established the Nebraska Wesleyan women’s program in 1993 and put together another six consecutive winning seasons. The team earned NAIA top-25 rankings four times, including a high of 12th in the nation in 1998. That same year he also coached the NWU men’s team to a 20-2 record, along the way claiming a conference championship and the program’s first NAIA national ranking.
From NWU, Williamson moved into the high school ranks, spending five years at Augusta Preparatory Day School. In five seasons with the boys’ program and four with the girls’, he led both programs to consecutive winning seasons for the first time while taking the girls to the Georgia Independent Schools Association’s semifinals in 2003.
