What an absolutely incredible first year as a high school head coach.. all of the love, laughter, tears, hugs, snacks, 120’s, film sessions.. I wouldn’t have wanted to do this with any other group of girls. I’m so blessed and spoiled by them!! So proud of them 🤍
Making my way back home, and I could not be welcomed to a better place. So excited for this next chapter!
Bittersweet is all I can say; Abilene has been my temporary home for the last 9 1/2 years, and I’m going to miss it and the people greatly.
What an honor to be recognized in this way. All of the hard work and time dedicated to these girls didn’t go unnoticed or unappreciated. I love this group- wouldn’t have gotten this without their buy in and selfless TEAM mentality all season long! Thankful God brought me to AHS!

This is Family!!! Wylie lost an absolute heartbreaker 5-4 in OT! No one would of blamed them for going home. Instead they stay to watch their Abilene High soccer sisters win 4-2! Abilene soccer family is special!!
I had a great time at
@CUBuffsSoccer
camp this past week! I’m thankful for the opportunity to do what I love alongside other passionate coaches from all around the country, with players that are eager to learn.
Plus you can’t beat that backdrop 🤩😍
What an awesome opportunity getting to chat with

about
@AHS_Women_Soc
! I’m thankful for coaches like this doing their part in trying to grow awareness of the game. Really appreciate the time you and your crew took to sit down with me and learn more about the program!
Here we go!! On tour with Stars N Stripes for the next few weeks coaching players in tournaments in both Denmark and Sweden. Excited for this opportunity to be on staff, meet new people, learn more about the game, and see some beautiful countries!
God has a purpose for everything that happens in our lives. The good, the bad, and the ugly. If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
I have to keep reminding myself that this too shall pass.
So proud of Marin!! A workhorse on the field, on the track, and in the classroom. She is the definition of a dedicated STUDENT-ATHLETE. She goes above and beyond to always do her very best. LCU is getting an awesome DUAL SPORT athlete!

On the flip side, I know too many coaches that threaten to kick players off of the HS team for missing even a scrimmage for a high level showcase… my policy: if they go to a showcase, they have to be actively sending emails and getting recruited, they have to do their part!
Easter is more than a day; it’s the realization that a sacrifice was made for each of us, and death was defeated. It’s the reality to live every day knowing His resurrection power has overcome sin and death on our behalf! Hallelujah-Amen!
Goes for any and all youth sports
Development > sacrificing essential technical & tactical skills just to win
Sure winning is fun! But at what cost to the most impressionable and crucial ages of skill development?
You end up with 17 y/o’s with poor field vision and awareness

Best ECNL showcase I went to when playing was when Notre Dame, Stanford, UCLA, & UNC were in the college cup- everyone on the team went to the games and it was such a great experience!

Zoe Vann- 800M and 1600.
Marin and Marin
Murray in 3200 and 1600. Go Eagles!!
There are some teams REALLY wasting their talent this season, they know who they are.
You either have the dudes/gals or you don’t, if you do & your team can’t get along-bickering, excuses about BS, coaches can only do so much.
IT’S ON YOU & 10 others on the field, no one else.
@LethalSoccer
In Club, I sit for 99% of the game because it’s about learning and developing. In HS, I sit for about 20% of the game, but too much rides on each game to not get caught up in the moments of encouraging as well as quick, necessary correction.
Two of the best!
Marin: thank you for your leadership & hard work this year! You’ll do great things at LCU!
Rhe: thank you for your tenacity- you’re a fierce competitor! I’m super excited to see what your future holds!
Awesome job Symone 👏🏼
AND she just signed to the Marines! We are so proud of your time at AHS & know you’re going to do great things serving our country!
