More About Coach Jennifer

I have been in the coaching profession for over 15 years, and I have worked as a head and assistant coach at NAIA, DIII and DI programs with both the mens and women's side of the game.
I have also worked within competitive clubs and ODP in numerous states across the country, and organized and run individual and team camps and clinics for players of all ages for the past 8 years.
I have many years of experience in individual and small group training sessions to increase technical and tactical awareness of players for all ages and positions.
I hold a USSF D License, NSCAA State and Regional Goal Keeping Licenses, and NSCAA Director of Coaching Diploma. I also have my First Aid and CPR certifications and am certified to train athletes with the TRX. Three years of personal training experience has also allowed me to become very knowledgeable in the strength and conditioning aspect of developing athletes.

I was a four year starter at the University of Dayton (2001-2004).

Every session is based on the individual player's needs, but sessions involve a lot of technical work through drills. It will focus on technique as well as accuracy, ball control, and vision and working under pressure of a defender. I also incorporate fitness with and without the ball because in order to be an elite soccer player, fitness, speed and agility are major aspects of success.

Client Reviews

Coach Jennifer has been great. After only a few sessions (small group and individual), she has honed in on exactly what my son needs to do to bring his game to the next level. She has a great coaching style, businesslike and focused, but also friendly and joking. Exactly what we've been looking for. Highly recommended.

Bella felt at ease with Coach Jen.
From a parents perspective I appreciated Jen being honest and upfront about our daughters strengths and weaknesses. Jen made an instant connection to our daughter and we would recommend trying her out, you wont be disappointed. Great coach and very nice person.

Coach Jen is absolutely wonderful. My son has had several person coaches in the past few years, all of whom were very good in their own way. Yet Coach Jen is by far the best. She brings so much to every session: her ability to see what he needs to work on most, her ability to motivate him in a positive way, her energy, her flexibility and willingness to work with us on scheduling, etc., her positive attitude, her creativity, her feedback...the list could go on and on. He continually asks if we can book more sessions with her because he already feels a difference in his ability to play his position on the field at his best. We couldn't ask for a better personal coach.

Jen offers the perfect blend of encouragement, positive feedback and constructive criticism. She is extremely well prepared for he coaching sessions and customizes her sessions to the individual player's needs. My 13-year-old comes home exhausted but equally inspired by her workouts with Jen. Jen is active in her sessions often working physically as hard as those she coaches. She's sets a great example with her energy and love of the game.

Great session. Jennifer was very well organized and really packed a lot into my son's session.

Coach Jennifer just started working with my eight-year-old son, and there was noticeable improvement after the first session. She outlined a plan to help him become a better all-around player, and that has really helped boost his confidence. Coach Jennifer expects my son to work hard, but she is also easy-going, and I overheard them sharing several good laughs over the course of their initial session. In fact, my son had such a huge smile on his face following his session that I immediately signed him up for five more sessions without even needing to consult him. In addition to being a great coach and communicator, Coach Jennifer is incredibly athletic. Just seeing some of the moves she's capable of has inspired my son to try and emulate her.

Coach Jennifer was great to work with. She worked with my 14 yr old son on various skill building drills to become a goalie. Works great with kids and drills of various skill development. I would definitely recommend her and would use her services again!

Coach Jennifer was amazing. My son e joyed every minute of the session and came home feeling confident of the corrections she had shown him. He said he worked harder than he ever has but knows hard work pays off and appreciated her positive feedback as well. Thank you so much Jennifer, we will see you soon and I would highly recommend Coach Jennifer .

My daughter Kasi says she is really enjoying working with Jen and feels she is is learning a lot. As a parent I can already see an improvement.
