More About Coach Lily
Over the course of my college career I have gradually started to get into coaching and have grown to really enjoy watch the kids improve over time. I started out by working the ID camps at my college which was a very serious environment because all the kids wanted to do well. Then I started to do individual sessions with younger kids(around the age of 6-7 years old) which was fun because they were just starting to learn the basics. After that I started working camps with a San Diego Surf coach, this gave me a better idea of what working with older kids around 10-12 years old was like; it was a very different experience because I was working with far more capable athletes which was great. I was able to give them harder drills and exercises.
Soccer has been the primary sport I have played my entire life. In high school I played Academy/DA for San Diego Surf, during my senior year my team made it to the finals to compete for the national championship. My Freshman and Sophomore year I played high school soccer for Canyon Crest Academy, my sophomore year I made the Avocado League second team and was voted MVP by my coaches and teammates. I just graduated from San Diego State as a D1 student athlete, prior to that I played D1 at Indiana University. After my sophomore year of college I made the decision to transfer and come back to San Diego to be closer to home. I was able to play the sport I love at a D1 level while being in sunny San Diego.
My session plans will depend on what each kid needs to work on and their overall skill level, the first session will be somewhat of an assessment of their overall skill so that I can develop a more individualistic plan for them to help them improve as much as they can during the sessions. However, there will be a core of skill improvement and development. This includes ball movement, passing with and without texture or spin, collection, and vision with the ball. Every session will start with the athlete working on footwork without the ball as a warm up. Then we will move into more soccer based movement while still working to get their feet moving faster. There will be a lot of different cone drills to improve their comfort and skill with the ball, this will take up most of the session. At the end if there is time we will have some free time for the athlete to pick what they feel, with my input, what they need to work on most. This could be defending/attacking 1v1, long balls or other skills that do not require the ball to be directly at their feet.

Coach Lily had a great session with my daughter. She was patient, positive and taught her new skills. She is very excited and is looking forward to continuing our sessions with Coach Lily. Thank you!
David (CoachUp client)
Lily made my son who is on the spectrum for autism feel very comfortable right off the bat. My son can be a tough read and he seemed loose and comfortable. Also notably, I’ve had other coaches in the past for my son and this was by far the most active I’ve seen him. He was really engaged. He had a good time, he felt like she listened to him and he’s eager for his next session. All I could ask for. Lily is awesome.
