Shawn Medved is a retired American soccer forward and midfielder. Currently, he coaches youth soccer.
Medved was born and grew up in Issaquah, Washington. His father, Ron Medved, was a noted American football player for the University of Washington and Philadelphia Eagles. Despite his father's success at football, Shawn chose to pursue a soccer career. He attended Issaquah High School from 1981 to 1985. After graduating from high school Medved attended The Evergreen State College, a small liberal arts college located in Olympia, Washington. The school has a men's soccer which plays in the NAIA. When he finished his career at Evergreen, Medved was the school's all-time scorer, a record since broken by Joe Gjertsen. He was the 1990 NAIA Player of the Year and in 1988 and 1989, Medved was selected as First Team All District. NAIA teams played in districts until 1995, when they moved to a conference structure.
After leaving Evergreen, Medved was drafted in the fourth round of the 1990 American Indoor Soccer Association amateur draft by the Atlanta Attack. Medved chose not to pursue a career with the Attack and instead played a single season with the Portland Timbers of the American Professional Soccer League (APSL). Medved led the team in scoring, as a rookie, with ten goals and two assists. This placed him seventh on the league's points list. While Medved had passed on the Atlanta Attack, he decided to sign with the Tacoma Stars of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1990. After the completion of the APSL season, he joined the Stars, for whom he played two seasons, leaving the team in 1992 for the Cleveland Crunch of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL). Medved won his second professional championship when the Crunch defeated the St. Louis Ambush to win the 1993–1994 NPSL crown. That year, Medved scored 38 goals and assisted on 19 others for the Crunch.
