I started playing soccer at the age of eight years old and immediately fell in love with the competitive nature and intensity of the sport. As a coach, I hope to pass this level of passion, dedication, and love for the game to each player and develop well-rounded, confident, and committed individual’s, who strive to give their best on and off the field. I am dedicated to continually improving and educating myself, and my main goal is to eventually obtain my USSF National A License, NSCAA National Diploma, and other specialty certifications that enhance player development and performance (goal keeping licenses, sports psychology, nutrition, and strength and conditioning certifications).
I currently hold a BA in General Studies (emphasis in Kinesiology and Sociology) and am working towards graduating with a Master’s Degree in Kinesiology (emphasis in Coaching), from Texas Woman’s University, in August of 2012. Though my life-long goal is to hold a position at the collegiate level, I desire to gain as much coaching experience as possible now and am dedicated to developing youth players that are technically sound, tactically smart, physically empowered, and mentally capable of reaching their potential and beyond.
