I started my career as an assistant at the University of Michigan. Since then, I’ve coached at DePaul University, Western Michigan University and Saint Mary’s College of California. I’ve worked for a number of ECNL clubs throughout the country as well as directing youth summer camps and working in after school programming. I’m comfortable working with all age groups, levels and genders!
As a player, I won two youth national championships and started my collegiate career playing at the University of Connecticut. I transferred and finished my collegiate career at the University of Michigan under the direction of the former US women’s national team coach. I’ve been to 4 NCAA tournaments, one first round, two sweet sixteens and one elite eight. After college I played semi professionally for Indiana Elite, but was forced into retirement after too many concussions.
What anyone can expect from me is an intentionally tailored session specifically geared toward the person I’m training. I’m excellent at meeting people where they are at and challenging them in an intelligent and fun way! Because sustained growth in soccer is fostered through engagement AND fun!

Client Reviews
Kedar (CoachUp client)
It wasnt just her training which was well structured and intense while being appropriate for my daughters age and ability, but after the training, she took the time to talk to my daughter about not being hard on herself and gave her some really excellent motivational advice. Absolutely would recommend working with Coach Sarah for your soccer player.
Korey (CoachUp client)
Relatable, knowledgeable , technical…. All you want in a coach!
Kaite (CoachUp client)
After my son’s first session with Sarah he asked if he can train with her everyday.
I loved how she told him “every session I’m going to make you think.” She challenges and pushes him to be his best. Great fit for us!
Mig (CoachUp client)
If you’re looking for a female coach/ trainer I would totally recommend Sarah. She sets a positive, encouraging setting for my daughter to feel comfortable to improve in the game. As a parent she is the ideal trainer to help my daughter meet her goals in the skillset she wants to improve on.
Meghan Gallagher - Parent (Testimonial)
Sarah coached my two elementary school daughters with enthusiasm and high-level soccer expertise. Sarah's passion for soccer is contagious and she is gifted in having her players focus on skills with a grin on their faces.
