Head Men's Soccer Coach (2004 - Present)
Head Men's Golf Coach (2007-Present)
Head Coach Brian Jaworski begins his fifth season as the leader of the Pioneer men's soccer program this fall. Jaworski arrived at Grinnell in August of 2004, following a long and successful career as an assistant coach at DePauw University that spanned from 1991-2003. During his tenure as an assistant coach, the Tigers went 167-58-12 (.704) and made four NCAA Tournament appearances.
Jaworski has helped build the Pioneer program into a winner. After his first two teams went 10-19-2 overall and 5-13 in Midwest Conference play, Grinnell has posted a combined overall mark of 16-11-6 and league record of 12-3-3 in the past two seasons.
In May 2003, Jaworski was named Aflac National Assistant Coach of the Year in recognition of his hard-work and dedication to the DePauw University men's soccer program. The award is based on a coach's longevity and expertise, as well as contributions to the school and community, and special achievements throughout their careers.
In addition to his work with the men's soccer program at DePauw, he also was an assistant coach for the DePauw women's soccer team that advanced to the NCAA Final Four in 2003.
Jaworski was a standout soccer player for the DePauw men's team from 1984-1988, and he became the first and only player in the school's history to earn all-America honors in men's soccer, earning the distinction in 1988. He currently ranks seventh all-time in career goals scored with 31, and is eighth all-time in career points with 75. Jaworski, a 1989 graduate of DePauw, was inducted into the DePauw Athletic Hall of Fame in 2002.
As a head coach, Jaworski has coached two separate club teams to Indiana state championships. In 2002, his under-17 Dynam FC Indianapolis club team claimed the state championship, and in 2000 his under-18 Dynam FC Indianapolis squad won the team title. In 2004, Jaworski guided his Carmel United under-18 club to the final four of the Indiana state championship, where his team lost to the eventual state champion.
Along with his soccer duties, Jaworski will also take over as head men's golf coach this spring. He had previously been an assistant track and field coach since his arrival in 2004.
Jaworski resides in Grinnell with his wife Leslie and their three children: Ann Marie (10), John (7) and Calvin (3). He and his wife are actively involved with Grinnell's youth soccer program. In addition to his duties as head men's soccer and golf coach, Jaworski also serves as an assistant professor in the Physical Education Department.
