BALANCING TWO JOBS
Serving in two positions as head coach of University of St. Thomas (Minnesota, USA) and the United States of America women's national team. "Team USA brings this element where I can see the past and the drive and the excellence and the pursuit of something greater than themselves. Then I switch gears and drive a half-hour away and see the same passion, the same drive — but I see a different experience, a college athletic experience of personal development...And that motivates me in a different context." (startribune.com, 25 Jan 2022)

ADDITIONAL COACHING EXPERIENCE
