Jason Wichman is in his second season at Texas State after serving as an assistant coach at Drake for three years. Wichman will coach the goalkeepers, the same position group he worked with in Des Moines with the Bulldogs.
In his first year in San Marcos, Wichman made an impact on the Bobcat goalkeepers, as the Bobcats had nine shutouts on the season. He coached Lauren Frazier to Southland Conference Tournament MVP honors after she stopped three of four shots in the semifinal against Sam Houston State before shutting out Stephen F. Austin 1-0 in the SLC title game.
Jason went to Drake prior to the 2008 season. In his first season, eight Drake players garnered All-Missouri Valley Conference accolades, including senior goalkeeper Jenny Schroeder, who was named a second team All-MVC selection.
During his tenure, the Bulldogs posted 22 shutouts, including a season-high nine last year, which tied the school record. The school posted its first 10 win season in four years in 2010, going 10-6-3.
Also in 2010, Wichman helped Kalena Litch to a program best nine shutouts and 0.75 goals against average. As a result she was named to the second-team All-Missouri Valley Conference Team, along with the All-MVC Freshman Team.
Wichman, a native of Des Moines Iowa served as the goalkeeper coach for his alma mater, Simpson College, coaching the women’s team in 2006 and 2007. He helped the Storm to 10 shutouts and a 1.07 team goals against average in 2006.
Wichman also served on the staffs at Waukee High School in 2007 and 2008 and at Iowa City West in 2006.
Aside from his college and high school coaching, Wichman has also coached club teams such as the Des Moines Menace and has received his NSCAA National Goalkeeping Diploma.
