College career

Yale

Winhoffer played college soccer for the Yale University Bulldogs. In his first year, he was the only rookie to feature in every game. In the 2019 season, Yale won the Ivy League title, and Winhoffer was named the Offensive Player of the Year (the first Yale player to win the award) and was also among the First Team Honorees.[4] [5] The following season, he became Yale's team captain, but the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] [7]

University of North Carolina

In August 2021, as a graduate student, he joined the North Carolina Tar Heels.[8]

Club career

Winhoffer and teammate Marco Casambre were among the youth players promoted to the first-team squad of Global for the 2015 United Football League (UFL) season. On 7 May 2016, he came on as a second-half substitute and scored in their 8–0 thrashing of Laos.[9] Global won the 2016 UFL cup and league titles.[10]

Azkals Development Team

In mid-2021, he reportedly joined the Azkals Development Team (ADT) of the Philippines Football League (PFL).[11]

He made his debut for the senior national team as a second-half substitute in their 2–0 World Cup qualifier loss to China PR on 7 June 2021.[17]

Personal life

Winhoffer was born on 1 March 1999. His father, Ernest Winhoffer, played collegiate soccer for the Fordham Rams and Mercy Mavericks.[18] His mother, Mariels Almeda Winhoffer, was born and raised in Manila. She moved to Illinois as a teenager and eventually graduated from Fordham University (finance and computer science) and worked for IBM.[19] [20] [21] Mark has three siblings: Nicole, Ernest Jr., and Michael—who also played soccer for Fordham. The Winhoffers lived in St. Charles, Illinois until 2012, when they moved to the Philippines as Mariels became the president and country general manager of IBM Philippines. Mark lived in the Philippines for 5 years and studied at International School Manila before moving back to St. Charles.

Winhoffer studied economics at Yale University. He was named twice in the Fall Academic All-Ivy League selection, a distinction for Ivy League student-athletes with grade point averages (GPAs) of 3.00 or higher.[22] [23] [24] He graduated in May 2021.
