Best Read
The Champion's Mind by Jim Afremow PhD. The book is very inspirational and helps all sorts of athletes and everyday people on h
ow to get in a "zone," thrive on a team, and stay humble.
Biggest Inspiration
Marta Vieira de Silva. I have been watching her since I was a little girl. Her style of play is creative, intellectual and inspiring, very much the way I loved to play the game.
Favorite Team
Manchester United - I have been a fan of them since I can remember, Coached by one of the greatest coaches of all time Sir Alex Ferguson.
Favorite Food
Anything fruit. Mostly Melons and grapes. I could eat fruit for breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday!!
Hometown
I grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia. A gorgeous city with the most beautiful snow capped mountain ranges surrounded by a cultured city with so many things to do. A must visit on your bucket list.
Memorable Coaching Moment
I was given a Bronze level U12 Girls soccer team, who had not won a single game the year before. In the year that I was their coach, they went from the last place team in the league to becoming league champions and winning 4 local club tournaments. Proud coach moment.
