Youth

Oudin graduated from Lenape Valley High School in Stanhope, New Jersey, and attended East Stroudsburg University, playing on the men's soccer team from 1985 to 1988. [1] He graduated with a bachelor's degree in physical education in 1991. In 1993, he signed with the Cleveland Crunch of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL). That season the Crunch won the NPSL title. In 1994, he moved to the Harrisburg Heat, remaining with the team through the 1995–1996 season. At some point, probably in 1996, Oudin played for the Delaware Wizards of USISL. In 1997, he signed with the Hershey Wildcats. This brought him back to eastern Pennsylvania, an area he had lived in during college and an area he would make home for the rest of his career. Oudin played the 1997 and 1998 seasons with the Wildcats. In the fall of 1998, he signed with the local Philadelphia KiXX of the NPSL. In 1999, he returned to the USISL, this time with the Lehigh Valley Steam where he was both a player and assistant coach. The Steam folded at the end of the season and Oudin moved to the Reading Rage of the USL Pro Select League, playing with the Rage until 2003 when he retired from playing professionally.

Coach

Oudin began his coaching career as an assistant with the East Stroudsburg University men's team from 1989 to 1992. In 1992, he also became an assistant with the women's soccer team, a position he held through 1993. In 1997, he became the head coach of both the boy's and girl's teams at the Moravian Academy, a private primary/secondary school in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. In 1999, Oudin served as an assistant coach, as well as player, for the Lehigh Valley Steam. [2] He then served as an assistant coach with the Reading Rage from 2001 to 2003. On September 21, 2003, Lehigh University announced the hiring of Oudin as the head coach of its women's soccer team. [3] Manny finished his career at Lehigh University after the 2009–2010 season.
