LeadHER Recruiting & Performance

Welcome to LeadHER! Playing college field hockey is a tremendous honor, privilege, and opportunity. Not everyone is “built” to be able to play at the next level and getting to that point is not easy. I have spent my 20+years of college coaching helping prospective student-athletes navigate the recruiting process while helping them maximize performance on and off the field. Over the last 5 years, I have developed a program to help high school student-athletes and their families in this process. In partnership with our gifted players, I have had the opportunity to place athletes at colleges across the country at all levels. I not only want to help your athlete navigate their hockey development, but I also want to help them identify and use their values to find the best academic and field hockey fit! Most importantly, I will introduce your daughter to essential pillars of performance which she can carry into all aspects of her life moving forward. The recruiting process can be confusing, challenging, frustrating, and stressful. With a systematic and thoughtful process we can provide your daughter with a clear vision for how to navigate these challenges and maximize her future opportunities.
