Coach Soleil

Coach Soleil is the founder of CRU Soccer and a coach dedicated to helping girls and young women become confident, intelligent, and resilient athletes. With over 10 years of experience coaching competitive soccer, she holds her USSF B License, has coached within the West Region Olympic Development Program (ODP), and currently coaches in the ECNL Regional League (ECNL RL).

With a background in Applied Mathematics from San Diego State University, Soleil brings an analytical, science-informed approach to player development. Her coaching integrates technical and tactical training with principles of movement, performance, learning, and wellness. She believes understanding the why behind training helps athletes become more intentional, adaptable, and independent in their development.

At the heart of Soleil’s philosophy is the belief that high-level development and accessibility should not be mutually exclusive. She creates environments that challenge players to think, compete, and take ownership of their growth while feeling supported along the way.

As a coach and champion of women’s sports, Soleil is committed to creating more opportunities for girls and women to develop, compete, and see themselves reaching the highest levels of the game.
