🌟 Welcome Jessica Strickland: Our New Head Girls' Soccer Coach! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce Coach Jessica Strickland as the new Head Coach for our girls' soccer team! Coach Strickland brings a wealth of experience and passion for soccer to our school. She has been coaching competitive soccer for 10 years and holding a US Soccer grassroots license. Notably, she was the Head Coach for Dickinson High School girls' soccer during their inaugural season in 2020. Her playing career is equally impressive, starting soccer at age 6 and playing competitively from age 12. She was a varsity starter for all 3 years at Coronado High School in Lubbock, earning MVP, 1st team all-district, and Newcomer of the Year awards. Coach Strickland also played for Texas Tech Club in 2016-2017. Coach Strickland aims to instill a love for soccer in her players while teaching them leadership, teamwork, and discipline. She believes in mastering the basics and foundational aspects of the game with a "Team before me" attitude, summarized as “We > I”. She enjoys seeing athletes grow and understand that growth is about mastering the game and developing as a team and individual players. Coach Strickland is excited to give back to her community by sharing her knowledge and passion for the game. Outside of coaching, she enjoys training with her club coach, attending concerts, floating the river, white water rafting, and shoe shopping with her family. She and her husband Daniel, of 16 years, have three children: Keaden (18), Kolbee (16), and Knox (14), all of whom have played soccer. Join us in welcoming Coach Jessica Strickland to our school and supporting her as she leads our girls' soccer team to new heights! GO LADY BULLDOGS!!!
