Josh Hinkle moved from the playing field to the Lynchburg sideline in 2015 after an outstanding four-year career as a Hornet. In that time, Lynchburg has captured five Old Dominion Athletic Conference championships, reached six NCAA Division III tournaments, and seen five players earn All-America honors.

As a player, the defender had a dominant senior season to lead Lynchburg to the ODAC title, and earned 2014 All-South Atlantic Region, All-State and All-ODAC First Team honors. Hinkle was a three-time all-conference honoree.

More recently, Hinkle served as the Head Coach of Lynchburg FC, a semi-professional team that plays in the United Premier Soccer League. Last season he led them to the Conference Championship Game and garnered UPSL DMV Coach of the Week honors.

He graduated in the spring of 2015 with a degree in sport management and a coaching minor. In 2018 he completed a Masters in Business Administration degree at the University of Lynchburg.
