Where great humans take root.

Personalized soccer training for girls

Why I coach

My journey through this sport has been anything but linear — from the highs of playing and coaching D1 soccer to the lows of long-term injuries, surgeries, anxiety, eating disorders, and even years away from the sport. But I wouldn't change a thing. Every step has enhanced my ability to connect with athletes on a deeper level. Rooted Coaching is my way of bringing great training and unwavering support to players everywhere.

Individualized Virtual Coaching

The bread and butter of Rooted. Training personalized to YOU — built around your needs, your position, your team schedule, your life stress, and more. All delivered through the TrueCoach app.

  • Nothing about this is one-size-fits-all. Training is specific to you. Updated 1-2 weeks at a time based on specific schedule and needs each week.

  • All your training in one place! This app allows you to easily communicate with me, watch drill videos, submit videos of you doing a skill for form review, and track your progress over time.

  • You can ALWAYS message me in TrueCoach about a session or drill or to ask any questions. Once a week, we can really check-in with a longer call.

  • The drills are great, but this is arguably the best part. Basically, you have me in your pocket. Pick my brain about anything related to training or life. I’m here for you the whole way.

  • For a fraction of the price of in-person sessions, you get access to training and communication EVERY day.

Frequently asked questions

  • Any girls who are looking to get more out of their training and who need support on their journey! You may want to play in college or beyond, you may want to have a killer high school season, you may just want to know what it feels like to be fully supported and learn about yourself on a journey… all are welcome at Rooted. Reach out to see if we could be a good fit.

  • Currently, no. While we value and uplift everyone, Rooted Coaching was created to bring opportunities to the next generation of female athletes.

  • True. But in order to be your best, players MUST be technically sound. You may know everything about tactics, but without the right techniques in your locker, you won’t be able to execute in game scenarios. And virtual because not everyone has access to a great coach in person.. now you do.

  • Absolutely!! Rooted is designed to complement your team training, giving you the personal development, technical focus, and individualized support that can be hard to get in a team setting.

  • That depends! The training schedule will be personalized to you: your training history, your current team training / match schedule, fatigue, etc. We will fit in technical training sessions wherever makes sense given this context. In heavier team training periods / in-season times, part of the technical training can be swapped for film review / tactical training.

  • You will receive all of your training via the TrueCoach app. Drills will have videos + descriptions to explain proper technique.

  • You’ll receive weekly technical and tactical sessions (distributed 1-2 weeks at a time through TrueCoach), unlimited in-app communication, and a 45min check-in call each week. You' also get constant mentorship and support through sport and life!!

  • There is no other individualized soccer coaching platform quite like this. Rooted combines high-level technical and tactical training with genuine connection and mentorship… taking support for female athletes to an entirely new level.

  • Mainly, you just need a ball! Extras can be helpful, but it’s definitely not necessary.

  • Absolutely! I’ve been through the process myself twice — once as an undergrad recruit and again as a graduate transfer. I’d love to help guide you through it too.

  • I played Division I soccer at the University of Nebraska and James Madison University, later coached at JMU, and now serve as the varsity head coach at South Eugene High School. I also hold a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology, along with a degree in Nutrition, Exercise, and Health Science, and Psychology. My life has also been one filled with adverse experiences (both on and off the field) which have enhanced my capacity for empathy and connection with my players in a way that separates me as a coach.

  • Because most athletes will be under 18, Rooted requires parent or guardian consent before training begins. Parents are included in the onboarding process and receive monthly email updates. However, the athletes are the ones communicating with me daily, giving them space to take ownership of their development.
