    Advanced Youth Award (English FA)

    Coaching Experience:

    9 Years - 3 with Mustang

    Coaching Philosophy:

    I believe in a “Player-centered” coaching style that believes developing the individual player takes priority over immediate team success. This philosophy emphasizes creating personalized growth opportunities, encouraging players to make their own decisions, building confidence and independence, and viewing mistakes as valuable learning experiences. Rather than providing constant instructions, I use guided questioning to help players reflect on their choices and develop a deeper understanding of the game. By asking questions such as, "What options did you have?", "What did you notice?", and "What could you try next time?", I encourage critical thinking, self-awareness, and the ability to solve problems independently on the field.

    Coaching Experience:

    25 years with Mustang Soccer. U9 -U19 boys and U6-U14 girls. Mustang Futsal for 10+ years, U5-U16 boys and girls.

    Coaching Philosophy:

    I believe soccer is one of the greatest teachers of life. For more than 25 years, I have been privileged to coach boys and girls from U6 through U19, helping them grow as athletes, teammates, and people. My goal is to prepare players for the next level of competition by developing their technical skills, tactical understanding, decision-making, and confidence, while fostering a lifelong love for the game. Soccer should be challenging, competitive, and, above all, fun. The friendships, memories, and passion players develop are just as important as the trophies they may earn.

    I love to compete and I love to win, because winning is the result of preparation, discipline, continuous improvement, and teammates playing for one another. At the same time, I believe some of life's greatest lessons come through adversity. Losses build character, humility, resilience, and the determination to improve. Every match—whether won or lost—is an opportunity to learn, grow, and become stronger together.

    The teams I coach become more than teammates—they become family. I strive to create an environment built on trust, accountability, respect, and selflessness, where every player is encouraged to challenge themselves, support one another, and believe in their own abilities. If my players leave with greater confidence, a deeper love for soccer, and the character to succeed both on and off the field, then I have accomplished my mission as a coach.

    Coaching Experience: 16 years with Mustang Soccer Club and two years as an assistant coach for the Northgate Varsity girls team.

    Coaching Philosophy: I am a dedicated coach who is passionate about inspiring players to love the game, demonstrate respect and commitment, and empower young women to be bold and confident. By fostering relationships with players and their families, I take pleasure in supporting athletes in achieving both personal and team objectives. I focus on helping players enhance their decision-making skills and technical abilities through a player-centered approach. Additionally, I specialize in assisting neurodivergent players.

    Playing Experience: Captain at The Master's University

    About Me:
    I am happily married to my husband, Michael, and together we have two wonderful daughters, Mae and Molly. As I embark on my 17th year teaching second grade at SRVCA, I cherish spending time outdoors with my family, whether it's hiking or biking, and of course, cheering on my favorite soccer teams.

  • Roles:

    U12G Elite II

    Coaching Education/License:

    Grassroots ‘D’

    Coaching Experience:

    4 years with Mustang

    Coaching Philosophy:

    My coaching philosophy is centered on developing confident, technically skilled, and resilient players in a positive and competitive environment. At the U12 level, I believe the focus should be on long-term player development rather than short-term results. I strive to teach strong technical fundamentals, game intelligence, and a love for the sport while encouraging players to challenge themselves and grow from both success and adversity.

    I emphasize teamwork, accountability, and respect for teammates, opponents, officials, and the game itself. I want players to feel empowered to make decisions on the field, take risks, and learn from mistakes without fear of failure. My goal is to create an environment where players work hard, support one another, compete with confidence, and develop habits that will benefit them both in soccer and in life.

    Ultimately, I want every player to leave each season as a better player, a better teammate, and a more confident young person.
