WHAT'S IT LIKE TO PLAY ON YOUR TEAM?
During a season, my goal is to help players spark a competitive edge, develop new skills and experience the importance of always showing up for their teammates. I want my teams to play tough no matter what – but have a little fun too!
AS A YOUNG ATHLETE, WHO INSPIRED YOU?
I looked up to one of my coaches. She had high expectations, but always kept a safe space for players to learn, grow and have fun.
WHAT'S YOUR "GO TO" SONG TO GET YOU PUMPED UP?
WHAT'S YOUR CAN'T MISS TOURNAMENT SNACK?
It’s always been (and will always be) Goldfish!
WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED FOR THIS SEASON?
I’m super excited to coach in the U14 division this season! I love the eagerness to learn that this age group has. I’m looking forward to focusing on fundamental skills while also fostering a love and passion for the game. There’s so much potential!
