Jonathan Winship

Head Coach

Jonathan Winship has been the Head Coach of the Vandegrift High School Men’s Soccer program since 2021. Over the past five years he has turned the Viper Boys soccer program into a perennial powerhouse and in 2025 guided the Vipers to the 6A DII State Championship.  

Beyond a State Championship, Coach Winship led the Vandergrift program to the State Semifinals in 2024, and 2026, amassed a 17-4 playoff record, an overall record of 89-25-14, and a district record of 51-13-10, in addition to winning two district titles.

This success has not come by accident, it is the product of intentional culture building rooted in core values. Values that are applicable beyond the soccer field which prepare young men for their path ahead; athletically, academically, and in life. 

Coach Winship currently holds a USSF National B License (2025) and an Advanced National Diploma from United Soccer Coaches (2019). 

His coaching career is decorated with honors, including, 

TASCO 6A Coach of the Year (2024 & 2025), 

Austin American Statesman Coach of the Year (2024 & 2025), 

District Coach of the Year - Vandegrift HS (2022 & 2024), 

District Coach of the Year – Northeast ECHS (2021), 

TASCO Assistant Coach of the Year (2017), 

Teacher of the Year – Webb Middle School  (2016)

Beyond the field, Coach Winship is proudest of his family. He has two children, Riley and Connor and wife Binta.  When not on the field or in the classroom you can find him spending all of his free time with them.
