Coaching Philosophy Statement

As a coach, I believe in developing the whole athlete—physically, mentally, and emotionally. My goal is to create a positive, empowering, and structured environment where girls feel confident to take risks, work hard, and grow on and off the field. I emphasize fundamentals, teamwork, accountability, and sportsmanship, while also encouraging leadership and personal development. I draw from my experience at the highest levels of soccer to instill discipline and a love for the game in every player I coach.
