Kim Wyant, head coach of the NYU men's soccer team, is a groundbreaking athlete and coach. When she was appointed to this role in 2015, she was the only woman coaching an NCAA men's soccer team. In fall 2022, she gained wide publicity for a historic matchup against Julianne Sitch—the new coach for the UChicago men's team. The two teams played to a draw, and Chicago went on to win the NCAA Div III national championship.
In addition to her years of success as a coach for numerous teams, Wyant was also a highly accomplished player. She was a starter for the University of Central Florida in the first-ever NCAA Women's National Championship Game (1982), and was named MVP of that tournament. She was named first team All-American as a college senior.
Wyant played goalkeeper for the first United States Women's National Team in their inaugural international game against Italy in 1985. In 2008, Wyant received the Special Recognition Award from the National Soccer Hall of Fame for her contributions to the National Team.
