Nick Carlin-Voigt has over eight years of coaching experience at the high school, club, college and semi-pro levels. He holds his United States Soccer Federation (USSF) “B” coaching license, as well as a USSF goalkeeping diploma. Currently, Carlin-Voigt works for George Mason University as an assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s programs.
"Nick has extensive experience with training goalkeepers, and will be a valuable asset to our program," said GMU men's soccer head coach Greg Andrulis. "We are thrilled to add someone with Nick's experience and reputation to our staff. He is a uniquely talented individual."
"I am very excited we have found someone with as much pedigree as Nick," said GMU women's soccer head coach Diane Drake. "He will be a tremendous ambassador for both men's and women's soccer here at Mason, and he really understands what college athletics is all about."
Carlin-Voigt has been in the collegiate coaching ranks for three years, but already has an impressive resume. He began his coaching career at his alma mater, Kalamazoo College, a Division III school in Michigan. He worked there as an assistant coach with the men's team for one season before moving on as a volunteer assistant with the men's team at Western Michigan University. From there, he took a job at the University of Wisconsin as an assistant for the women's team, where he worked with the team for two years and helped them to the 2005 Big Ten Tournament Championship.
A decorated player in college, Carlin-Voigt graduated from Kalamazoo College in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in economics. A perennial Dean's List student, Carlin-Voigt also shined on the field, being named an NSCAA All-American as a senior. A two-time team captain, he was a four-year starter and holds the Kalamazoo College record for fewest goals allowed in a season and a career.
Carlin-Voigt has played semi-professional soccer for the Kalamazoo Kingdom of the United Soccer Leagues-Premier Development League, as well as for Cruz Azul Oaxaca in Mexico's Second Division Pro League. He has also played and coached for the Princeton 56ers of the NPSL. In 2004, he studied and played at the IMG Soccer Academy under goalkeeper coach Scott Morgenroth, and in 2006 he was on trial with Osnabruck of the German Bundesliga Nord (III).
Carlin-Voigt has also worked as a staff coach with the Wisconsin Olympic Development Program (ODP), and has further coaching experience at the club level having worked with the Kalamazoo Kingdom, Madison 56ers, and Vienna Youth Soccer.
