More About Coach Sara

I have coached the game for about 6 years now. I coached at the high school level for a summer- assisting with the Girl's Varsity team. I also have coached for Soccer Shots - an organization coaching elementary and middle school kids. I have enjoyed doing private lessons (ranging from about 1-6 girls typically) with middle school and high school female athletes. I hope to pursue a career in coaching after my playing career.

In high school I set the record for career goals (63), career assists (65), goals in a season (33) and assists in a season (25). I was all-state, all-conference and all-region multiple times. I was class B player of the year and gatorade player of the year for my junior and senior season. I was offensive player of the year for 3 years. My senior year I was named All-American.

I have played for multiple club teams (both in Maine and Massachusetts) during my middle school and high school career. I played WPSL for seacoast united mariners (Maine) and Beaufort county (South Carolina). During COVID, I played abroad for an academy in Spain known as FC Malaga City.

I play college soccer at the University of Delaware. I was named team captain after my sophomore fall season.
In 2018 I played in all 18 games and was named Academic All-Conference. In 2019 I played in all 18 games, starting all of them.
I'm a Center Midfielder / Forward and I led the team in goals (7) and assists (4). I was named to the All-CAA First Team, Offensive player of the week, All-CAA Tournament Team and Academic All-Conference.

I am open to working on technical abilities, physical strength/speed and endurance or any other area of the sport that an athlete may feel interested in improving. We will reach these goals by doing various drills, technical work, and fitness activities, etc. I am aware of the current situation with COVID-19. Given these circumstances I want to be extra respectful and courteous of people’s comfort levels and I am open to any type of social distancing/mask wearing in order to have a successful session. All you need to bring is yourself (and a mask if you feel inclined). I will supply balls/cones/pug nets and any other type of equipment needed for sessions. I look forward to working with anyone and everyone interested in training with me! Thank you.

Sara was great with my daughter and I will be playing next year and I will definitely be looking to meet up with Sara again!

Our first session with Coach Sara was great! She was prepared to assess and adjust based on my child’s individual needs. We’ve already booked another session.

Sara was awesome with our daughter! We can’t wait to get on her schedule again!

Sara has been great connecting with my two teenage daughters and working to tailor sessions as she learns more about where and how they plan, opportunities for improvement, etc.

Coach Sara took the time to get to know my daughter, had a great session planned, and was positive in all her feedback during the session. We originally signed up with Coach Sara to get extra touches before tryouts. My daughter enjoyed her session so much, she's asking to continue to train with her when tryouts are over. I'd recommend Coach Sara to anyone looking for extra work for their player.

Sara is a great coach. She's patient, kind, encouraging but also pushes for performance. My daughters skills and confidence increased in just one session.

I thought Coach Sara did a great job with my son in his first session. Sara has great patience and works well with kids. Look forward to working with her in the future.... Thanks!!

Coach Sara has been amazing so far! Our 9 year old son was looking for another soccer activity in addition to his travel team that would help him improve. We have done a couple of sessions so far with Sara and it has been a great experience. She has been super positive while pushing our son with a variety of drills and she clearly had a gift for coaching. Looking forward to more sessions with her!

My daughter has had only one session so far, but spoke very highly of the experience. She said she could feel a lot of improvement over the course of the hour and is looking forward to more sessions.

Coach Sara was a great coach! After one session, my daughter already feels more confident in her skills. We will definitely be booking more sessions!

Coach Sara was awesome! She had a well planned session for my son working on a variety of technical drills. I could already see improvement throughout the session. We can’t wait to meet with her again!

Coach Sara was great! From the warm up, to the drills to the cool down. She was attentive, creative, and knowledgeable. My son (5y/o) learned how to dribble. He was also shown various techniques to improve his skill set. I feel that he would not have learned these techniques in a larger setting, and will greatly benefit from one on one sessions with Coach Sara.

I have been practicing with my daughter on the weekend and I can already see the improvement in her confidence and her speed of play from working with you! The girls love training with you. You are a great role model and we love your ability to engage and inspire them. They look up to you!
