My name’s Amanda, that’s me on the far right. I’m a soccer coach, but with an advanced degree in educational technology, I’m more likely to blow your mind with an eye-popping highlight video than with a killer step-over.
I played soccer at the University of Wyoming, and coached at both The College of New Jersey and New York University. I worked for an online start-up in San Francisco called Coach-Smart.com for the last year, and I’ve just moved to Chicago to work for the Chicago Red Stars, a Women’s Professional Soccer team, as the Director of Online Marketing, Website and Camps.
I’ve recently been asked to Chair the NSCAA Women’s Committee and to act as the WPS Advisor to the NSCAA Board of Directors.
My greatest inspiration and peer-mentor is Emma Hayes, she’s on the far left in the photo. Her “mannequin method” (click here for video) is a piece of coaching genius inspired by football mastermind Arsene Wenger.
Between us are Tracy, Kevin and Das. They’re good friends, forward-thinking soccer coaches and progressive people with vision and intellect to match. The 2020 Vision.
