Hi! My name is Liz, and I'm a multi-sport athlete with experience in dance, track and field, basketball, and soccer. I played four years of division II collegiate soccer and was recruited to play for the Chicago Stars in 2018. I continue to play recreational soccer in Chicago. I coached soccer during the summers of 2016-2018 at Camp Illahee and Camp High Rocks in North Carolina. My coaching approach is to inspire the player's individuality and support their love for the game.

"Liz was my coach for indoor soccer and she helped me practice controlled passes in confined spaces. She helped me with footwork and quick touches to score goals. I loved the games she came up with every practice.

Football has been my passion since early childhood. I grew up learning the basics of the game, living it every day — playing it, studying it, and enjoying every match I watched. Football is not just a sport to me; it’s a way of life. Over the years, that passion naturally evolved into coaching. I believe in developing players not only technically, but mentally and emotionally — building confidence, discipline, and love for the game. I come from Africa, where football talent runs in our blood and skills are developed instinctively from a young age. I combine that natural foundation with structured training to help young players grow, improve, and reach their full potential. Let’s build strong, smart, and confident players together.

I am a former Professional and International soccer footballer and have individually trained athletes for about 19 years now. I have coached football development academies for boys/girls ages 7-18. I've coached ages 2-5 with Soccer Shots, all ages of club level, coached at the high school level and I was an assistant coach at the collegiate level. I have also coached abroad in Australia and Iceland. I also served as a trainer and mentor for the Philippines Youth National Football Team in 2024.
