More About Coach Jennifer
I bring a unique blend of knowledge and passion to every session. I began my coaching journey introducing soccer to children as young as 2–5 years old, later expanding to training youth ages 2–15 of all skill levels and backgrounds—including children with special needs.
As a US Soccer–certified coach, I combine technical training with mental strength development, ensuring players grow both on and off the field. Having been coached by a former World Cup and MLS professional player, I understand the value of high-level mentorship and now bring that same standard to the players I train. Currently, I coach a competitive youth club team for Sporting KC while continuing to provide elite training experiences for athletes at every stage.
I’ve been playing soccer since the age of 7, dedicating countless hours to training and creating opportunities for myself through the sport. My hard work paid off, earning me two full-ride athletic scholarships. Beyond competing at the collegiate level, I also gained experience training in a professional environment, further shaping my understanding of the game.
I start by assessing each player’s current skill level, then design weekly sessions tailored specifically to their individual goals.
My training covers every aspect of the game—mastering the fundamentals while also building skills in playmaking, tactics, movement, speed, defending, attacking, possession, transitions, and finishing. Whether a player wants to become stronger overall or excel at a specific position, each session is strategically planned for steady growth rather than trying to do everything at once.
One thing is guaranteed: my sessions are engaging, high-energy, and designed to keep players motivated while developing both skill and confidence.

Client Reviews
Nicole Rosaker - Noble Prentis Elementary Principal (Testimonial)
Many of our students have been able to challenge themselves and build confidence in trying something new. We have a shy quiet kindergarten student who has started building confidence and tries soccer skills on his own. One of our 4th grade students speaks Spanish and he lit up when Coach Jenny gave him instructions in Spanish. Students come to school and ask me every day if it’s soccer day. They look forward to it and are excited to try new skills.
