Greg Wheaton

Greg Wheaton is entering his 23rd season as the Head Coach of the Men’s Soccer Team at the University of Northwestern in 2022.


It did not take long for Coach Wheaton’s squad to start making an impact in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference. In only Coach’s second season, the Eagles made the Conference Championship game. Wheaton reached the championship game in 2001, 2002, and 2004. Finally, in 2005 the Eagles broke through and won the UMAC Tournament.


Coach Wheaton has been named the UMAC Coach of the Year three times in his career.


While at UNW, Coach Wheaton has coached four NCCAA Academic All-Americans, four NAIA All-Americans, and three NAIA Academic All-Americans. Coach Wheaton is the longest tenured coach in program history by a wide margin, and is the all-time winningest coach in program history with 178 career victories.


Before starting his coaching career, Wheaton had a prestigious career as an athlete. Coach Wheaton is a former NCAA Division I player and was a two-time All-Big South Conference honoree at Liberty University. Following his collegiate career, Wheaton played professional soccer with the Minnesota Thunder of the USISL. Wheaton also played for the Internationals of the Minnesota Amateur Soccer League (MASL) and for the Minnesota State Select Team from 2000-2002. He also played professionally in Brazil, Bolivia, Africa, and the Middle East.


Separate from his UNW Soccer duties, Wheaton owns and directs the International School of Soccer Excellence (ISSE) and works with players of various ages to provide coaching, training, and development services.
