Current Washington Freedom assistant coach Win Puffer returns for his third season as an assistant women's soccer coach at Stevenson in 2009.

In addition to his coaching duties, Puffer is the Freedom's Soccer Club Director as well where he oversees the team's four USL Super-Y League teams and USL Super-20 League team. He also serves as the head coach of the club's W-League team.

Puffer joined the Freedom in 2006 as an assistant coach for their Under-20 team, helping to lead them to the first Super-20 North American title.

In 2007, Puffer was then named as an assistant with the Freedom's W-League squad and as the head coach of the U20 team. Both teams advanced to the North American finals that year with the W-League team capturing the championship.

After two years as an assistant in the W-League, Puffer was promoted to head coach prior to the 2009 season where he guided the Freedom to a 14-2-2 record and the league finals. During his last two seasons, Puffer mentored current Stevenson assistant Brittany Tegeler who has totaled 46 points on 18 goals and 10 assists in her two seasons in the league.

Also from 2007-09, Puffer was the head coach of the Freestate Shooters who won the 2007 US Club Soccer national championship and 2008 U18 Maryland State Cup title.

Prior to the Freedom, Puffer was the program director for the Thunder Soccer Club while assisting with the varsity and junior varsity teams coach at Loyola Blakefield High School in Baltimore. In 2005, he helped lead the Dons' to the MIAA championship.

A USSF licensed coach, Puffer has been a coach in the Maryland Girls Olympic Development Program since 2004, serving as a head coach for the U14 age group. Before that, he worked with both the Maryland and New Hampshire ODP boys' programs from 1999-2003.

Before moving to Maryland in 2002, Puffer worked with his boyhood club Seacoast United SC in New Hampshire while also playing for the state's semi-pro indoor team from 2000-02.

Puffer was also a member of the Allegheny men's soccer team from 1995-97 before an injury forced him to serve as an assistant coach as a senior in 1998.

Born in Durham, New Hampshire, Puffer currently resides in Owings Mills.
