Hi Jessica. Tell us about your soccer background.
Do you have a favourite memorable moment?
I always loved when my dad would take me to the park down the street from where we grew up, and he would help me work on techniques that were well beyond my skill level to show me what I could aspire to be. At the time, this 9/10-year-old girl was not doing bicycle kicks! As grueling as I thought it was at the time, it’s one of my favourite soccer memories that I will cherish forever.
What about the TELUS She CAN Coach program piqued your interest? What do you hope to get from it?
What are your coaching aspirations?
Is there a particular coach that you particularly admire?
With the inaugural season of the Northern Super League just around the corner, what does the NSL, and the new Calgary Wild FC franchise mean to you?
Oh, it’s incredible! I have a 16-year-old who is beyond talented and absolutely phenomenal and I hope she watches them and gets that spark and fire in her belly the same way I did when I watched Mia Hamm! Also, exposing professional soccer to my youngest, at 8, makes it more achievable and not so far-fetched as it used to be. Having that exposure now in our city is so amazing for girls’ and women’s soccer.
Thanks, Jessica. Good luck with the program!
