Tracey Kevins - Shaping Futures
Manage episode 328254419 series 2913592
Reflecting on how the female game has changed over the course of her coaching career is no mean feat for Tracey Kevins.
During her near 20-year career in soccer, it has, she says, developed immeasurably into something that would have seemed “too far a reach for the female game” when she started out.
Kevins was at the FA between 2005 and 2012, operating as a coach across the U15s, U17s, U19s and U23s age groups.
She began working in the US in 2013, first as head coach with LA Strikers FC, then as technical director of LA Blues Soccer Club and Seattle Reign FC.
Since 2017, Kevins has been with the US Soccer Federation, starting out as the women’s U17s national team head coach, before stepping up to the U20s role.
Alongside the changes in participation and investment, Kevins has also witnessed huge changes in the concept of the player itself. Something which, she says, will only continue to develop.
