Because of the unknown of a new program, we have recruited women who are risk-takers, go-getters, and visionaries. Our girls aren’t afraid of being a new team, but they are excited about it and the long term of the program," said Head Coach Jon Maccoll.The University of Sioux Falls has ambitious, short-term goals to win events at conference and NCAAs at the end of the season. Long term, the goal is to win a national title, “We don’t apologize for dreaming big” said Maccoll. Winning a national title is the big goal for most college head coaches. What makes Maccoll’s program especially unique, though, is his coaching philosophy…
My self and Rita (Koryukova, Assistant) aim to focus on the individual person. We treat everyone as an individual based on goals, academics, and training. We can work with anyone who is motivated and wants to be great. Greatness isn’t made by coming down on them when mistakes are made; Rita and I are creating a culture where it is okay to make mistakes. We are all learning in this process.”Maccoll’s philosophy stems a lot from what he learned from his mentor Jeff Dugdale. Maccoll previously coached under Dugdale at Queen’s University of Charlotte when it was a brand new program. Coaching a new program together, Maccoll was encouraged to try new things. During that time, he learned that it is okay to fail, it is okay to stumble, but always keep pushing forward, “We struck out on a lot of recruits, but the 11 we have here [at USF] are absolutely amazing!”said Maccoll. The University of Sioux Falls ladies, Head Coach Maccoll, and Assistant Coach Koryukova are an inspiring team and everyone can expect this group to make quite the splash in December and at the end of the season.
