He oversees several aspects of the program, including recruiting, scouting, and camp and program development, in addition to the day-to-day operation of the program. Godwin, who graduated from Liberty in 2005 with a degree in sport management, played in 70 games for the Flames, earning first team all-conference, all-tournament and second team VaSID All-State honors his senior year making him one of only 14 players in program history to earn three or more awards in one season. Godwin's performances in 2005 also led him to be invited to try out with Great Britain's U23 team and professionally with the Cheltenham Town Football Club. Prior to joining the Flames, Godwin had a standout youth soccer career in England. Making 65 appearances for Westfields Football Club, he earned Young Player of the Year awards in consecutive seasons and was appointed captain of the Herefordshire Football Association County Select Squad. During his tenure as captain, he led Herefordshire to the quarterfinals of the National Youth FA Cup Tournament and helped the squad win the prestigious Mitre Trophy. His performances for both Herefordshire and Westfields did not go unnoticed, and he attracted the attention of several professional teams, spending trial periods with Tottenham Hotspur and Notts County, before competing on the collegiate level in the United States. After graduating from Liberty, Godwin moved to Atlanta, Ga. where he continued his soccer career by playing with the United Soccer League's Augusta Fireball and Atlanta Silverbacks reserve teams. The Hereford, England native also took his first steps into coaching with the Atlanta Fire Soccer Club. Away from the field, Godwin has been working with sports hospitality giant THG Worldwide, providing corporate hospitality for some of the world's largest corporations at events such as the 2006 World Cup. Godwin holds an Advanced Regional National Soccer Coaches of America Association (NSCAA) qualification. During the fall of 2006, Godwin spent a week as the guest of Aston Villa FC of the English Premier League. There, he observed practice sessions and training games for various teams from the club s famed Youth Academy to the first team professionals. What I experienced that week was better than just about any coaching course I attend on in this country, said Godwin. I spent time with coaches who had won the Champions League in their playing career and with current players who have represented their countries at various levels. It was an unforgettable experience, and one which has helped me to take great strides as a coach. This past summer, Godwin married his girlfriend and fiancé of over four years, the former Morgaine Christiansen. The couple now resides in the Lynchburg area. 5
