More About Coach Angela
I have experience training both females and males ages 8 and older. I have coached beginners all the way through academy players. I have worked for the teams attached to the professional clubs I've played for, such as the Western New York Flash, and also for Bethesda in Maryland. In addition, I have worked countless camps at the college and youth levels. I was also the graduate assistant for the women's soccer team at Springfield College.

I am currently in my 12th year professionally. I play for the Portland Thorns in the NWSL and previously played for the Boston Breakers, Washington Spirit and Western New York Flash. Before the NWSL, I played in the WPS for Atlanta Beat and Sky Blue FC. I have also played overseas in Finland and Australia. Prior to my professional career, I played 4 years at Francis Marion University where I was team captain and MVP for three years.
First, I ask the client what position they are and what they think they need to work on. Typically my first session is a technical session to evaluate the players strengths and weaknesses. Every session I spend a lot of time on technical work as I feel this is very important for every player no matter what position. Then I'll focus on position specific drills such as shooting, or 1v1s, passing, aerial strengths, fitness, crossing, etc.

Josh (CoachUp client)
Angela is an awesome coach and even better, a very nice person. After just the first couple of sessions, our daughter raved about how much she enjoys training with Angela. In addition to working on drills and areas of improvement, Angela is very encouraging and takes the time to ask tons of questions to really get to know the kids she works with on a personal level. We couldn't be happier with the time our daughter has had with her so far.
Trey (CoachUp client)
Angela has been truly an amazing coach. My daughter has been able to improve on her skills as a player and also improved in her confidence. Angela is adaptive to the need of the player while encouraging and challenging the skill to improve. She has been a fantastic coach and I am truly fortunate to have found her!
Evan (CoachUp client)
Angela has been awesome. She has not only worked with my daughter on ball skills but also motivated her. We will be working with Angela as long as she is coaching.
Brian (CoachUp client)
Angela was absolutely amazing! Our daughter tends to be a little shy around new people and within a few minutes she had a huge smile on her face and was talking to Angela as if they had been training together for years. The training session was fantastic and I can already see a difference in her play. I was a little hesitant to write this review only because I don’t want other players hogging our new favorite coach!!
Julie (CoachUp client)
The girls had an amazing time and are so excited to work with you!
Lauri (CoachUp client)
Angela has been an absolutely amazing coach for my high school daughter. My daughter took a year away from soccer during the pandemic and really needed someone to help her build back confidence in her soccer abilities. Angela is so encouraging, patient, and knows exactly how to help her players get results. My daughter feels completely comfortable with Angela and loves her sessions. My daughter’s confidence has grown tremendously because of her work with Angela. I highly recommend Coach Angela! She is wonderful! 😊
Paige (CoachUp client)

Brian (CoachUp client)
Angela is the perfect coach for our nine-year-old daughter! She has great energy, made the session instructive and fun and really knows how to interact with kids. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
David (CoachUp client)
Angela was great! My daughters came home excited to keep practicing. Can’t wait for the next session.
Heather (CoachUp client)
Coach Angela was great! She worked with us to find a time and location that worked with our schedule and travel. She was very positive and upbeat with my daughter, and helped her work on her skills. My daughter felt like it helped her a lot. She is looking forward to more sessions and practicing at home.
Mandi (CoachUp client)
Angela is an excellent coach. Right from the start, she took great care to provide the best training session for my daughter. Beforehand, Angela asked if there were any specific needs or areas that my daughter preferred to focus on for the session. She came prepared w/a number of exercises & drills in which to work specifically, according to my daughter's needs. From the start, Angela was very personable. She was very clear in her instructions & took the time to demonstrate, if/when necessary. She provided instant feedback & encouragement thru each step of the drill, which allowed my daughter the opportunity to make corrections in real-time, enhancing the learning curve, building her skills & confidence. She asked about game-specific situations to better learn my daughter's playing style & then tailored drills to cover those situations, making sure to give her tips along the way (from better body positioning to improving her mental game). My daughter really enjoyed working w/ Angela & learned a lot from her, just from this session. I would highly recommend Angela to anyone looking to improve any aspect of her/his game or technical skill. Thanks so much, Angela!
