"Losing is normally not a good measure of success. Last week, we lost to a good Lake Oconee team and unfortunately our season was over at (25-9). It's never what we want, when it ends before we want it to. Even so, this year was amazing! Two things: Your goals need to be unattainable. Your team needs to believe they are attainable. This team was pretty upset after losing out shy of their goal. What was that goal? Final four appearance or State Championship game. I didn't speak to a single person who believed that this team could do any of that. Several people said "we can make a run", but that's not a belief in what will happen. That's an open statement that leaves room for failure. I admit, I didn't believe we could win it all either. Even though people said this team hadn't played anyone or this team wasn't as good as their record showed, these kids believed it was doable. They believed with everything that they had, they were good enough. Any one who is not in pursuit of the goal becomes an obstacle. For example, me telling my son, "well, y'all probably won't go that far", might convince him that they aren't good enough. It's a mindset that negates team unity. I couldn't tell my son they weren't going to win. He knew they were going to. It became their mantra. It was their culture. You win when you expect to win. That mindset is not natural.It's developed. It takes a leader to instill that kind of confidence. Someone who has lived it and is mentally in that place all of the time. Enter Coach Seth Sitzman. I've been around baseball for 40+ years as a player, as a coach and a father of a player. I've never seen someone do it like Sitz. On the surface, he's pretty lay low. He doesn't like attention. He doesn't let just anyone in. He's hard to read. Almost everything opposite of me! Which, brings me to my point. Sitz did this far different than what I've ever seen or what I've ever done. He instilled a work ethic in every child that trusted him. (Notice I didn't just say "every child") I saw young ladies this year who didn't want to play softball in the weight room doing work. I saw those same girls in the off-season in the cages getting cuts in. Why? Sitz let them know that winning doesn't just happen because it has always happened. It takes you outworking your opponent and when your opponent is better, you work harder. In 9th grade my son was ready to quit baseball. It wasn't because a coach or what was in place already. It was because he wasn't playing. His 9th grade peers were playing and he was sitting on the bench. I told him, "Son, use the bench to make you work harder." His only thought process was, "I'll just play what I'm good at it." It wasn't about working harder. It was about being seen where he was. Where he was, wasn't good enough and that was it for him. This past summer Sitz challenged Brylan to gain 15 pounds from the weight room. Where I thought, "yeah right", Brylan thought, "Bet." At the beginning of this season, his junior year, Brylan weighed in at 20 pounds more than his sophomore season with pretty much 0 body fat. Which immediately impacted basketball as well as his year in baseball. Brylan made 1st team all region last year in baseball as a left fielder. He made 1st team all region in basketball and again 1st team all region in baseball from center field this year. I don't say that to brag on my son. I say that to thank Coach Sitzman for believing in my son. I say that to say thanks to Sitz for how he drives every single person around him to be better. My child is genuinely different because of Sitz. He loves baseball, but more than anything, he loves competing. Sitz challenged that without degrading him or embarrassing him. You can mean business and demand respect without belittling your players. I can only speak for what I've seen. What he's done for Brylan, he's done for hundreds of other kids. The smile on my son's face in this picture, is the proof of the confidence you bring to your players. I can't thank you enough Seth Sitzman for what you've done. These 2 years have been awesome! The conversations, the scheming, the memes, it's all been phenomenal. I can't imagine next year without your family in the building. You busted your tail on that field for those boys until the very last pitch! I commend you for that. I know that God will open a door at some point. You are meant to coach, so I know it's coming! My advice to you would be enjoy your family. Take in the quiet. Enjoy the peace of Jesus. The ride will sometimes be uncomfortable but it always levels out. I love you brother! I wish you well and I will ALWAYS be in your corner...

Hi! My name is Hilary, Elite Player Development Leader | Former Division I Athlete | USSF D License Candidate I have been immersed in competitive soccer my entire life, developing through some of the nation’s top programs and coaches. A Division I athlete at the University of Minnesota (Big Ten), I earned a full athletic scholarship after being recognized as a Top 50 national recruit (2001) and taking official visits to several elite programs, including USC, Notre Dame, UConn, and UMass. A graduate of Perrysburg High School, one of Ohio’s most respected academic and athletic schools, I excelled both on the field and in the classroom. I earned multiple All-Ohio honors, was a Top 5 All-American vote-getter, and still hold career assists and offensive records that stand today. I trained and competed with the Cleveland Internationals Soccer Club, one of the premier youth programs in the U.S., known for producing national champions, collegiate standouts, and professional players. I was a five-year ODP Ohio North State Team starter, a two-time U.S. Regional Team member starter, and a U.S. National Pool Team alternate for the ’84 age group representing my country in international play in 2001. My development was shaped under the mentorship of two of the most respected names in American soccer: Zdravko Popovic, U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame inductee and USSF “A” Licensed coach with over four decades of success producing national champions and professional athletes. Keri Sarver, former U.S. U20 Women’s National Team Head Coach (2018 World Cup), national staff coach, and decorated professional player known for advancing the women’s game at every level. In 2025, I stepped into coaching to elevate player development in my under developed soccer community - leading the Plattsmouth Women’s Varsity Soccer Program and the Plattsmouth U9 Girls Recreation Team. I am currently progressing through my USSF D License (Winter 2025) to further refine my technical and tactical coaching foundation. My approach blends elite-level training, Coerver Coaching Methodology, mentorship and purpose. I believe in developing confident, skilled athletes who lead with integrity on and off the field—balancing competitiveness with compassion, and precision with joy. A lifelong student of the game, I am committed to building a culture where players grow not just as athletes, but as leaders prepared for success in soccer and beyond.

"Hilary teaches with enthusiasm and passion. When we do drills, they all have a purpose, and she explains how that will integrate into a game situation. Not only does she teach us helpful and meaningful drills, she shows us examples of foot skills that we can use in game to improve our play. The way she coaches is both auditory and physical. She get involved. Many coaches only explain without showing. It doesn’t just feel like I’m being talked at, it feels like I’m learning from a fellow player.

With 17 years of playing experience under the guidance of elite coaches, including those from FC Dallas, Ohio State, former MLS and USMNT players, and Christian Pulisic's former U16 coach, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my coaching. My three years of coaching experience span high school teams—achieving 2nd in state during my tenure—and multiple seasons as a youth club head coach. My coaching style is player-focused, tailoring training to your individual needs and goals. I am committed to leveraging my extensive background to help you maximize your potential and achieve your ambitions.

Fueling a love for the beautiful game is my passion. With 13 years of soccer coaching, I cultivate players' skills and confidence. Join me for focused training and a positive learning environment. I will also be playing at the collegiate level soon and want to spread my knowledge of the game.

I was a high level player in High School and played College Tennis at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I currently coach tennis in OPS.
