Season 2: Episode 2: Becky Burleigh, @BeckyBurleigh, Head Women's Soccer Coach, University of Florida

"On the Touchline" - Football/Soccer Podcast

Few college coaches can match Becky Burleigh’s ability to bring a team ready to challenge for each season’s conference and national titles on such a consistent basis. There is no question that Burleigh stunned the soccer community when the Florida program she started in 1995 claimed the 1998 NCAA crown in just its fourth season of play. But focusing on that obvious achievement doesn't give due credit to the job Burleigh does year-in and year-out as a tactician of the sport, developing players and promoting the sport at local, state and national levels.

Those early successes have evolved into the Gator soccer team being a regular among the nation’s ranked teams. Over the course of the program’s 23 years, Florida has:

• 21 NCAA Championships’ berths (1996-2001; 2003-2017)
• Two NCAA College Cup appearances (1998, 2001), winning NCAA title in 1998
• 14 SEC team titles (1996-2001; 2006-2010; 2012-13, 2015)
• 12 SEC Tournament titles (1996-01; 2004; 2007, 2010, 2012, 2015-16)
