Jessica F.

I attended college at Florida International University on a full soccer and track scholarship. I've played soccer competitively for 15 years and ran track for 9. I attended Nease High School from 2004-2008 and was awarded 4 Varsity letters. In addition, the teams I competed on won 3 State Championships. At Nease, to this day, I hold the 400m School Record and am a 4-time All-District Runner. In 2006, I received the bronze medal for my 800m run at the Florida 3A State Championships.

This year will be my first year coaching soccer and track at a local high school. The sessions I will perform will be based off of the needs of the child. My skills range from speed and agility training to defensive drills and shooting drills for forwards.

(2006) So far this season, Nease has set a new girls track and field school record in at least one event in each meet the Panthers have competed.

Friday at the Bulldog Classic at Bolles, sophomore Jessica Gambill set another, winning the 400 meters in 58.29 seconds.

(2006) From the girls' team, sophomore Jessica Gambill (400-meter run), freshman Brigid Byrne (1,600-meter run), junior Laura Phillips (discus), and junior Kelsey Swensden (shot put) were all named to the All-First Coast Girls Track and Field Second Team.

With a new athlete I am not familar with, the first day I would give a fitness test to see where they are and depending on where they stand, we can start working on their weakness's immediately. A fitness test with consist on a time trial. With both soccer and track you must be physically fit no matter what.

With track, day 2, Whatever event the runner specializes in, I will build a workout around that.

With soccer, I will begin with ball skills and building strength from there.

It all depends on the individuals maturity level with the sport.
