I have experience coaching boys and girls running from ages 6 to 13. My coaching experience spans from recreation leagues all the way to travel teams, as I have helped coach for Epic Soccer Club on both their academy and travel teams. For Epic, I have worked as an assistant coach, which has allowed me to observe and build a close relationship with the athletes and has given me insights into tools and strategies that will help them reach their full potential. I also have some experience working at summer camps that teach kids from ages 5 to 14 soccer skills. Most of my experience is with girls from the ages of 7 to 12; however, I am open to working with both boys and girls around or a little outside of that age group. I feel as though my experience gives me a good understanding of the type of coaching that kids need to see improvements in their game. I also look forward to working with new kids of different age groups to help widen my coaching experience.

I have been playing soccer competitively for about 12 years on rec, travel, high school, and collegiate teams. I was named captain in my sophomore year, and held that position throughout high school. This position gave me good insights on what it takes to be a leader and taught me strategies on how to help my teammates see improvements in themselves and in their game. I was someone that they looked to for advice. I was nominated to all county and all tournament teams. My Club Soccer team, Epic 06 United, won numerous tournaments including the West Virginia State cup, and National Presidents Cup. I am now on Susquehanna University’s women's soccer team and just finished my freshman year there playing at the collegiate level. My playing experience has given me a lot of knowledge of the game as well as insights on coaching and what types of coaching is effective and what is not. I believe that this will help me be a better coach and allow me to help each athlete reach their full potential.

Before each session I will ask the client if there is anything specific that they would like to work on or see improvements in. This could include specific drills that they enjoy, or just a general area that they would like to work on. Each session will start with a warm up, along with a few activation drills to get the athlete moving and comfortable. We will then move into the main drills which will target the things that the athlete had mentioned, or just general drills to improve the athletes overall play. Each session will have games/fun drills incorporated to keep the session fun and to give the athlete breaks. Water breaks will also be built into the session and whenever the athlete needs it. The main goal of each session is to eventually make visible improvements in specific areas of the athletes game, while also keeping the training environment fun and stress free.
