WHY DO YOU COACH:

I got involved because I feel like coaching is a great way stay involved in sport and to give back for all the opportunities I have been given through sport. I feel that sport is an amazing way for girls to gain confidence, friendships and important life skills.

COACHING PHILOSOPHY:

My Coaching philosophy is that my number one goal is that the players I coach to develop a love of soccer and sport and develop life skills such as working hard for your goals and being a great team member. My goal is for each player to reach their full potential and gain confidence.

WHO INSPIRES YOU:

I am inspired by my past coaches. Particularly, my coach at Dalhousie University, Graham Chandler was a huge inspiration to me. I am also very inspired for the people I have coached with in the North.

HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED ANY COACHING BARRIERS:

I have been very lucky coaching in the North and feel I have not faced really any barriers from a coaching opportunities prospective. I have had the opportunity to take courses and me mentored by amazing coaches.
