Week 9
Liz started playing at the age of 7, and although she was dragged to her first practice, she quickly fell in love with the sport and is greatly thankful for that.
She played club soccer for Seattle United all through middle and high school until she was eventually recruited by Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and received a degree in neuroscience and a minor in biology.
Playing soccer in college was one of the best decisions of her life, as she was able to continue her love of playing while also building a strong community among fellow student athletes. At Macalester, she got to experience first-hand the strength of some incredible female coaches who pushed her as a player, and leader, on and off the field. During her time with Macalester she also played about every position on field, aside from keeper, which gave her the opportunity to learn the different aspects of each position. Her first job in high school was with Lil’ Kickers, a soccer and developmental program for young kids. Through this job she coached kids from as young as 18 months old to 10 years old.
Outside of soccer you can find her working mind solving puzzles, hiking, and exploring parks around Seattle. Post-grad she is planning on pursuing a career in physical therapy and is planning to apply to grad school in the next couple of years. Liz is excited to meet the kids that she will be coaching and to help create the best soccer experience she can!

Jennifer has played soccer since she was 6 years old. Starting in recreational, going to club and eventually playing in her college league, she considers herself an avid student of the game. “I was always a great student in school so it is not a surprise that I would apply the love of learning to the beautiful game of soccer. I will jump out of my seat watching a player make just the right touch to beat someone, or the patience to contain in defense under pressure. It’s those small details that are practiced continually that make exceptional players.”
Jennifer is not new to coaching or working with youth. In college she served as a youth counselor at Texas MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) Leadership camps and was selected as a trainer for incoming camp counselors.

Jess started playing at the age of 4 where she quickly became a player that all parents and coaches kept an eye on. In high school she was the only Freshman to make the varsity squad. After her Freshman year she moved to Florida where she tried to keep her sports going but unfortunately fell into a slew of injuries (4, to be exact) on her left knee that had doctors telling her it was best to just stick to biking and swimming.

Her trainer helped her lose 70lbs, regain her strength, confidence, and most importantly the ability to play sports. She is a prime example that you should never give up regardless of your circumstances, and if you put your mind to it you can get back to where you were before.
Generally, you can find Jess on the flag football field throwing and catching balls, and occasionally popping up on the turf to play soccer.
