Harriers Softball Coaching Staff

Justin McClanahan

I am excited to serve as the Head Softball Coach at Miami University Hamilton and bring my experience in high school and travel softball to the Harriers program.

Before joining Miami Hamilton, I served as the head varsity softball coach at Goshen High School. During my tenure, I helped guide the program to a record-setting season for wins and a district runner-up finish. My coaching philosophy centers on accountability, strong communication, player development, and building a competitive team culture in which athletes feel supported and challenged to grow.

As a high school coach, I have helped student-athletes navigate the college recruiting process, communicate with college programs, and prepare for the next level. My experience as both a coach and the parent of a college athlete has also given me a practical understanding of the opportunities and challenges families encounter throughout that process.

I am a 2000 graduate of Goshen High School and have remained closely connected to the local softball community through school and travel programs. Away from the field, I have worked for Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center since 2005 and currently serve as a Materials Specialist.

I look forward to building a Miami Hamilton softball program defined by hard work, teamwork, discipline, and pride. My goal is to provide our student-athletes with a positive and competitive college experience while helping them succeed on the field, in the classroom, and beyond.
