Paul Svagdis, M.A.
Assistant Professor of Physical Education; Head Coach, Baseball
School of Behavioral and Applied Sciences
Profile
Paul Svagdis is currently the head baseball coach for APU as well as an assistant professor in the department of physical education. He is an East Coast native with a heavy accent and a purely east coast vocabulary, and he loves baseball every bit as much as a west coast guy. His enthusiasm and love for the game are indeed contagious. He's proven he can take a program that's in shambles and rebuild it into a national contender. He's now out to prove he can take a perpetual winner to the next level. He has visions of some day in the near future returning Azusa Pacific to the NAIA World Series-a place no Cougar team has been since 1984. He is an active member of COIN (Coach of Influence), the American Football Coaches Association, and the American Baseball Coaches Association.
