I did one season as an assistant soccer coach for a U11 girls team. This experience helped me open up out of my shell and develop leadership skills further. I learned quickly that I am a role model for the girls and this helped me promote positive attitudes and mindsets with the girls. Coaching soccer taught me patience and to be adaptable because things can change very quickly on the field, as well as in the classroom. I built great relationships with the team and it was a lot of fun to prepare practice and drills. Watching the girls’ skills grow over the season was awesome!
