John Wolyniec (born January 24, 1977 on Staten Island , New York City , New York ) is a former American football player in the position of a striker , who now appears as a football coach . Since February 2015 he has been coaching the New York Red Bulls II , the second professional team of the New York Red Bulls , with play in the third-rate North American United Soccer League .

In the course of his career he was under contract with various major league soccer franchises, especially his home team New York Red Bulls or under the former name MetroStars , to which he returned again and again in the course of his career in which he came to most of his active career. In 2004 he completed two international matches for the US national team , where he himself remained goalless and was not used again in the national team of his home country.

Career

Career start and college career

John Wolyniec was born on January 24, 1977 as the eldest of two sons of the former pole vaulter John Wolyniec senior and his wife Patricia, who later became a computer teacher at her son's high school, on Staten Island, one of the five boroughs of New York City, in the US -Born in the state of New York, where he grew up and completed his school education. From the age of five he made his first experiences with football. During his time at the local Monsignor Farrell High School in the Oakwood neighborhood of Staten Island, Wolyniec of Polish origin - the Polish spelling of his family name would be Wołyniec - was a football player under Hall of Famer Jack Hynes , here still in midfield, active and continued this career at Fordham University in the Bronx . There he began studying mathematics (major) and physics (minor) in 1995 and was also active in the men's soccer team of the Fordham Rams sports department . During his studies, which lasted until 1998, he developed into one of the most attacking college soccer players of his time. Wolyniec found his way to Fordham University through his future trainer, Frank Schnur from Austria , who discovered him back in 1992 when Schnur, head of the Olympic Development Program in New York State, held a trial training session on Long Island . At the time, he was described as small and skinny and about 155 cm tall and weighing about 45 kg. At the time, coach Schnur refrained from signing the young offensive player, but came back to the boy from Staten Island about a year later, visited him at his parents' house in the Annadale neighborhood of Staten Island and personally offered him a scholarship for the Fordham University, which Wolyniec subsequently accepted.

In his first year at college, his freshman year, Wolyniec acted very aggressively, but was able to improve his performance from year to year. After contributing nine goals and seven assists in 1995, there were already 17 goals and eleven assists in 1996. This placed him in the previous scorers list of the Fordham Rams, considering the individual seasons, behind John "Jack" Shannon , who had 20 goals in 1982, on the second place. Although he was already considered a player with great potential during this time, the first individual successes and awards only followed in his junior year 1997, when he further increased his scoring potential. At the end of the game year there were 24 goals and six assists, which made him the first place in the university's top scorer list. At the end of this season he had already broken his first school records due to his offensive strength. His individual successes in 1997 included, among other things, being elected to the First-Team-All- Atlantic-10 , to which he was first elected in 1996, or being awarded the Vincent T. Lombardi Award . His 24 hits made him the top scorer in the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship . At the academic level, he was elected Scholar Athlete of the Year at Fordham University in 1996/97 with an average of 98%, 1,400 points on his SAT and a resulting GPA of 3.7 .

He was able to improve his performance again in the final senior year 1998, when he scored a total of 24 goals and prepared another ten for his teammates. At this point Wolyniec was already considered the most prolific attacking player in the history of the Fordham Rams. Because of his previous achievements, but above all because of his offensive strength in the senior year, he was awarded Fordham Male Athlete of the Year and Atlantic 10 Player of the Year this year, as well as for the third time elected to the First-Team-All-Atlantic-10 in a row . Also in this year the All-American led the NCAA Division I in goals from 1998 and received the Vincent T. Lombardi Award for the second time after 1997 . Highly decorated not only on a sporting but also on an academic level . He was awarded the Third-Team-Academic-All-American® in 1998 and the First-Team-Academic-All-American® in 1999. He completed his studies within three and a half years in order to train with the US national soccer team. In the course of his college career, the striker had a record of 80 appearances, in which he scored 75 goals and prepared a further 34, for a total of 184 scorer points.

In 2005, John Wolyniec was inducted into the Fordham University Sports Hall of Fame for his achievements in football. Even today (as of July 2016) he holds seven school records at Fordham University. He has the most goals (75), assists (34), scorer points (184), appearances (80) and appearances from the start (77) in a college career. With all these career records, he surpassed the previous bests from the 1970s by a considerable amount. He also holds the records for most goals in one season (25, 1998) and most scorer points in one season (60, 1998). In both of these categories he is pursued by himself in second place with 24 goals in 1997 and 54 points scorer in the same year. Wolyniec was honored at the fourth NYC Soccer Gala in the New York Athletic Club in 2016 and is the fourth Ram to receive this honor after coach Frank Schnur (2013), Mark Lugris '83 (2014) and Jack Shannon '85 (2015) .

Club career

MetroStars and Long Island Rough Riders

His actual club and professional career began in 1999, when he was drafted as the seventh pick in the first round to the MetroStars via the MLS College Draft 1999 , the fourth and last draft of this type . His success in college soccer could not convince in the Major League Soccer , the highest soccer league on the North American continent, and so Wolyniec was fired before he had even played a single game for the MetroStars. He then came to the Long Island Rough Riders in what was then the USL A-League , the second division in the North American football league system. Here he formed a successful and congenial attack duo with the Serb Darko Kolić . While Kolić scored 17 goals in 25 games and prepared another nine, Wolyniec was 15 times successful in 27 games and contributed seven assists. At the end of the season he finished with the Long Island Rough Riders in third place in the Northeast Division of the Eastern Conference and thus in a season of the four-track second division. In the subsequent Conference Quarter Finals of the Eastern Conference , John Wolyniec scored a goal against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds , a young football franchise from Pittsburgh , but could not avert the subsequent 3: 4 defeat and elimination from the play-offs. Enthusiastic about the successes on Long Island, the executives of the MetroStars brought him back to the team, whereby he also scored his first goal in the first class in his debut game in the MLS. Nevertheless, the season went badly under the experienced Bora Milutinović and is still today (as of July 2016) with only seven wins from 32 games as the worst season in the history of the franchise. By the end of the game year , John Wolyniec had made four championship appearances; his debut goal should be his only one in Major League Soccer.

His next stop was the MLS franchise Chicago Fire , trained by Bob Bradley , in which he initially did not come to the breakthrough he had hoped for and only made 15 league appearances and one goal in the 2000 game year . Wolyniec came here as a re-draft via the MLS SuperDraft 2000 , although he was only the 44th pick that was drawn. The rest of the year he was awarded and thus completed three goalless league games for the briefly appearing MLS Pro 40 team in the USL A-League , which consisted of all generation Adidas players and for which he made an assist. He was also in four championship games for their league rivals Milwaukee Rampage in action and was very dangerous under coach Bora Sučević with three goals. A month before his first competitive appearances for the team from Milwaukee , he was already successful as a double goal scorer in a 2-1 friendly win for Chicago Fire. With his regular team from Chicago , he was able to win the Central Division of the Major League Soccer, which is divided into three seasons, and was in second place in the overall ranking; tied, but with a goal difference two points worse, behind the Kansas City Wizards franchise in first place. In the game for the championship, the so-called MLS Cup , which will be played after the subsequent play-offs have been completed, the Kansas City Wizards won just 1-0 after a Molnar goal. In the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup of 2000 , the team from Chicago sat in the final with 2: 1 against Miami Fusion by what after the league title in 1998 was the second major title in the young history of the franchise. John Wolyniec did not get past the successful strikers of the team, around Josh Wolff , Christo Stoitschkow or the attacking midfielder Dmytro Kowalenko , and in 2001 he only played four championship games for Chicago Fire, where he contributed one goal.

Moved to New England Revolution and Rochester Raging Rhinos

As a result, John Wolyniec had to make another move, which this time brought him to the MLS franchise New England Revolution in exchange for Eric Wynalda . Once there, however, he had no long future in sight; after just one encounter, one of the last games in the soon to be demolished Foxboro Stadium , he was released from the franchise. The next two years he should then spend again in the second-rate A-League, where he first came under the Rochester Raging Rhinos . With the team from Rochester , New York, he was known less as a goal-scoring striker, where he scored only one goal in 15 league games in the 2001 game year. After a second place, one point behind the Hershey Wildcats , in the Northern Conference of the three-pronged second-highest division, the Rhinos made it into the subsequent play-offs without any problems. During this time Wolyniec's teammate Mickey Trotman died in a car accident in his Trinidadian-Tobagan homeland. Although the teammate was lost, the Rhinos around Polish-born John Wolyniec made it to the play-off final against the aforementioned Hershey Wildcats and, after two goals by Bulgarian Stoian Mladenov, who later played in Austria , left the field 2-0 as the winner . Wolyniec also played in the 2001 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup , where the team was eliminated 1-0 against the Hershey Wildcats in the second round.

Second championship title in the A-League

His highest-scoring second division season after his debut in 1999 he had in the game year 2002, when he appeared for league rivals Milwaukee Rampage . Here he formed a congenial and dangerous offensive duo with the former Zimbabwean international Vitalis "Digital" Takawira , with whom he had already played together during his loan phase in 2000. While Takawira contributed nine goals and eight assists this season, Wolyniec had ten goals and five assists. With the team he managed as the winner of the Central Division of the Western Conference , one of now four parallel seasons of the A-League, in the subsequent play-offs, in which the team barely made it into the final. There, John Wolyniec was able to prevail as the hero of the evening, scored the 1-0 opening goal shortly before the end of the first half and, after the Richmond Kickers equalized, prepared the golden goal for Siniša Angelovski in extra time . Due to his previous achievements and his goal and assist in the final game, he was awarded the title MVP of the A-League at the end . Furthermore, he made it with Milwaukee Rampage to the quarterfinals of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup 2002 , where he was used in all three games of his team and scored one goal. He also played five games in the 2002 League Cup, where he scored twice as a goal scorer, making a total of 34 appearances and 13 goals throughout 2002.

Successful change back to the MLS

Wolyniec's successes in the second highest soccer league on the continent did not go unnoticed by those in charge of Major League Soccer. His former trainer at Chicago Fire, Bob Bradley, brought him through the MLS Supplemental Draft 2003 to his new coaching station and Wolyniec's former employer, MetroStars. Here Wolyniec finally found his hoped-for breakthrough and was able to score some important goals in his two and a half seasons. There were also some golden goals that Major League Soccer had introduced for league games between 2000 and 2003, as well as some important winning goals. As a regular player, he made 25 league appearances in which he scored five goals. With the MetroStars he was eliminated early in the conference semifinals of the play-offs, but was able to prevail with the team in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup 2003 . In the Cup, Bradley's Wolyniec was used in all five games, scored two goals and was only eliminated with the MetroStars in the final with 0: 1 against his former employer Chicago Fire. He was also used in a league cup game in 2003, in which he himself remained goalless.

In the 2004 game year , the 1.85 m tall attacking player and team captain acted more offensively than in the previous year 2003 and scored ten goals in all 30 league games. Here he was able to prevail against the competition within the team, although a trio of foreign strikers were committed before the start of the season. With the team it was similar to the year before, the MetroStars were eliminated early in the play-offs and could not prevail in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup 2004 , where they defeated the second division Charleston Battery in the fourth round, the first Appearance of the MetroStars in this year's cup, with 0: 1 defeat. To his 30 appearances in the league Wolyniec also came to a use in the cup, as well as to two appearances in the league cup, whereby he remained goalless in both competitions. Even before the official start of the 2004 season, the Staten Island striker showed his offensive quality when he scored two goals in a 3-1 in a friendly against Portuguese first division club Boavista Porto and prepared the third for his teammates. Through his achievements, he also made the leap to the US national soccer team , for which he completed two international matches that year.

Back to New York via Columbus Crew and LA Galaxy

The 2005 game year at MetroStars did not last long for Wolyniec, who turned gray early in the 2000s. After only eight league appearances, in which he made two goals and three assists, he was given in exchange for his former storm partner at Chicago Fire, Ante Razov , to his current employer, Columbus Crew . The routine new signing Youri Djorkaeff took over his position as team captain with the MetroStars . However, he did not find the right connection with the crew and only scored three goals in 17 league games, as well as one personally goalless appearance in the 2005 cup competition . After 2006 nor did a single league appearance for Columbus Crew, he was immediately afterwards in May 2006, part of a four-player deal between the franchise from Columbus , Ohio , and the MLS franchise Los Angeles Galaxy . As a result, he completed ten championship games for the team from the west coast and scored one goal. After only a few months with the new team, Wolyniec, who was struggling a bit with the distance to his homeland, began a third era in August 2006 with the former MetroStars, now known as the New York Red Bulls . That year he was also officially inducted into the Staten Island Sports Hall of Fame .

After returning to the east coast , he was already in his third MLS franchise in the 2006 game year and completed eleven league games for the NYRBs, in which he scored three goals and contributed two assists. As in the past, the team did not progress in the play-offs and was eliminated in their first game against DC United . In the 2006 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup , the team got beyond the first game, but was also defeated by DC United in the second game, the quarter-finals. John Wolyniec was used in two league cup games that year. After coach Bruce Arena , who had only replaced interim coach Richie Williams in the summer of 2006 , failed to achieve success and only used him as a substitute player and less as a regular from the 2007 game year , Wolyniec never really made a breakthrough. In the 2007 game year, he still made 21 league appearances, of which, however, he was on the lawn in only 13 from the start. Against the competition around new signing Juan Pablo Angel and as a child prodigy traded Jozy Altidore Wolyniec had little chance of a regular place in the forward line of his team.

After Arena's contract had expired, a new coach was signed with the Colombian Juan Carlos Osorio , but Wolyniec was also not used for the starting lineup. In his 19 championship appearances in Major League Soccer in 2008 , the attacker from Staten Island was only used in five games from the start and this year, what has never been the case before, remained goalless at professional league level. As only fifth-placed in the Eastern Conference , the team made it into the subsequent play-offs, in which Wolyniec was surprisingly used by coach Osorio in the starting eleven. In the very first game against reigning champions Houston Dynamo Wolyniec provided the template for Juan Pablo Ángels 1-0 opening goal; the first leg ended in a 1-1 draw. In the second leg that followed, the New York Red Bulls prevailed 3-0, with John Wolyniec scoring the goal to make it 3-0 in the 81st minute and was considered the key figure for the team to advance in the competition. After the team also defeated the Real Salt Lake franchise 1-0 in the Conference Finals and thus secured a place in the MLS Cup , the final of the season, Wolyniec scored the only one in the later 3-1 defeat against Columbus Crew His team's hit, at this point the goal to equalize 1-1. In addition to the successes in the league, things looked less positive for the team in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup 2008 , after they lost 2-0 to third division Crystal Palace Baltimore in the third round in their first game . In the League Cup, he played four games and scored twice in the opposing goal. He was more successful this year in the reserve team, which he led as the team's top scorer with eight goals and three assists from eleven missions.

In the 2009 game year , the now 32-year-old was initially under coach Juan Carlos Osorio, who was replaced as interim coach from August 21 by the previous assistant coach Richie Williams. That game year he made 20 league appearances, eight of which he started from the start, scoring two goals and preparing another for his teammates. However, the season ended for him in early October after undergoing an operation to remove bone fragments from his right ankle. In the final ranking of the league, he finished seventh and last place in the Eastern Conference with the New York Red Bulls and failed with the team also to qualify for the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup 2009 , when he lost 3-5 in the qualification finals DC United . Here he was used in both games of his team and met it once in the qualification semifinals against the San José Earthquakes . Wolyniec was also successful as a goalscorer in the qualifying round second leg for the CONCACAF Champions League 2009/10 against the Trinidadian-Tobacco team W Connection , which was lost 2-1, making him the only player in the NYRB to have at least been in all three main competitions this year came to a goal once.

After being out for months, he returned to the team under coach Hans Backe , but was unable to continue his previous performances after his injury break. A brief assignment in the first game of the season in 2010 was followed within a month between May and June 2010 by three more league appearances and two games in which he was only on the bench. The reason for these appearances was his outstanding performance in qualifying for the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup 2010 , when he scored Revolution in a brace in a 3-0 win over New England Revolution and this two weeks later in a 3-0 win the Colorado Rapids succeeded one more time.

With the team he retired, after successful qualification, but already in the first game, the round of 16 encounter against the Harrisburg City Islanders , from the current tournament. The game against the Islanders, which only ended after 120 minutes in extra time and in which Wolyniec was used for the entire duration of the game, was also to be the last compulsory professional game in his active career as a football player. Just a month later, he was fired by those in charge of the franchise to make way for prominent new signing Thierry Henry . Wolyniec subsequently announced his official retirement on November 9, 2010, and at the same time announced he would accept a full-time position at the New York Red Bulls Academy , the franchise's own academy. At the time, the crowd-pleaser behind Mike Petke was the player with the second-most stakes in the franchise's 1996 history. Today (as of July 2016) he is in the overall balance (MLS, MLS Cup, US Open Cup and Champions League appearances) in fourth place behind Mike Petke, who is still for New York Red Bulls active Dax McCarthy and Dane Richards . In the list with the most goals for the franchise, he is currently in seventh place. He also holds two official franchise records. On the one hand, with 14 games he is the NYRB player with the most appearances in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, on the other hand, with seven goals he is also the most dangerous NYRB player in this competition.

National team career

Already at the end of his college days, Wolyniec, who was so attacking and dangerous at the time, was training with the US national soccer team , but was not yet considered for official selections or international matches. From 2004 he gained regular experience in the national team of his home country, to which his later coach at the New York Red Bulls and since 1998 acting national coach Bruce Arena had first called him in January 2004. For his home country he finally made his debut on January 18, 2004 in a friendly international match against Denmark , which ended in a 1-1 draw. He was one of eight debutants in the United States national soccer team. After Arena had brought him back into the 17-man squad for a training camp at the IMG Soccer Academy in Bradenton , Florida in preparation for a friendly game against the Dutch national soccer team at the end of the month , he soon made his second international appearance for The Red, White & Blue . After his brief appearance against Denmark, which lasted just a few minutes, when he came on for Chris Armas in the 88th minute , he made his next appearance against Haiti on March 13, 2004 . In the game, which also ended 1: 1, Wolyniec was in action from the start this time and was only replaced by Jovan Kirovski in the 83rd minute .

Coaching career

During his active time as a soccer player, he was also active as a soccer coach and trained for years at the local youth training club Staten Island United and maintained his own soccer camp called Breakaway Soccer Camp . At the end of his career as an active player, he also worked as an assistant coach for the U-13 / U-14 team of the New York Red Bulls. After he subsequently accepted a full-time position at the New York Red Bulls Academy , which he held from January 2011, he then mainly worked as an individual trainer in the technical field. In mid-February 2013, John Wolyniec was appointed reserve team coach and player development coordinator after his last position as head coach of the U-23 academy team, and was active in that role for the next two years before joining the Role as head coach of the New York Red Bulls II , the second professional team of the New York Red Bulls , with play operations in the third-rate North American United Soccer League , was granted. In his first year as a professional coach, he led his team to fourth place in the final ranking of the United Soccer League and thus to a starting place in the subsequent play-offs, in which the team was only eliminated in the conference semifinals against the Rochester Rhinos. This year, the 20th anniversary of the franchise, he was also selected in the Best 20 in 20 selection , i.e. the 20 best players in 20 years of MetroStars / New York Red Bulls. In the current (as of July 2016) game year 2016 , Wolyniec and the New York Red Bulls II are four points behind Louisville City FC in second place in the table.

Play style

After Wolyniec began his career as a midfielder under Hall of Famer Jack Hynes at Monsignor Farrell High School on Staten Island, he developed into a fast forward, especially in his college days. Ness Selmani, then assistant coach at Fordham University and later head coach of the women's soccer team there, described him as a deceptively fast and strong player on the ball who, thanks to his height, is also good in the air in headball situations. Furthermore, he was already considered to be both-legged on the ball and equipped with an outstanding game intelligence with which he surpassed the majority of his teammates. Furthermore, Selmani, under whose local youth training club Wolyniec had also played earlier on Staten Island, added that Wolyniec always knew exactly where he was going and always knew when to dribble or shoot. Ness Selmani also praised the angles from which Wolyniec often scored goals.
