Background
Amanda began playing soccer at the age of 9 when she joined the Coon Rapids Soccer Association in the Minneapolis area. Amanda continued her soccer journey until the age of 18 playing soccer year-round. Living near the National Sport Center in Blaine, Minnesota, Amanda earned the Most Valuable Defender Award for her high school’s freshman soccer team. Amanda was recognized for her physical defensive play which earned her a spot on the girls’ varsity soccer team where she lettered her sophomore, junior, and senior years.
Amanda’s favorite soccer memories include their winter indoor soccer leagues and participating annually in the USA Cup, the largest youth soccer tournament in North America. Amanda’s knowledge and passion for the game of soccer led to one of her first jobs as a youth soccer referee for her local soccer club.
Coaching Philosophy
My primary goal is to promote an inclusive atmosphere with open dialogue to ensure kids and their parents feel supported in their soccer journey.
