Biography
Josh Gillon rejoined the High Point University men's soccer coaching staff in May of 2017 after previously serving as an assistant coach with the Panthers from 2013-2015. Gillon is the Associate Head Coach for the Panthers and has been a vital piece of all five NCAA Tournament appearances and the program's two victories: North Carolina (First Round; 2022) and West Virginia (Second Round; 2025). In 2025, it was HPU's best season yet as the program firsts continued to stack up. Behind a 14-2-4 record, Gillon helped lead the Panthers to their first-ever second round win in the NCAA Tournament — a 3-2 victory over West Virigina at Vert Stadium — which was also the school's first-ever time hosting a second round game on campus for the program's first appearance in the Sweet Sixteen. The Panthers didn't suffer a loss until after the 10th game to a Sweet Sixteen UNCG team. The Panthers completed a perfect, undefeated 9-0 Big South record and held league opponents to the best goal differential
Coaching Philosophy
Gillon appears to prioritize defensive organization and tactical discipline, evidenced by HPU holding league opponents to the best goal differential while maintaining an undefeated conference record. His approach seems to emphasize building sustainable program excellence through consistent tournament appearances rather than flash-in-the-pan success.

Program Culture
