What is your vision for Lambert Girls Soccer?
“The Lambert Soccer Program is built upon Win Forever, a philosophy that promotes a work ethic to compete, and to do things better than before. This growth mentality has built a strong foundation of tradition and team success; my goal is to bridge the girls’ program from its rich history to a prosperous future.
Our focus is to promote “Next Level” student-athletes, in which our program builds our girls to be successful at the next level in the academics, athletics, as a leader, and as a teammate. Ultimately, the Lambert Girls Soccer Program will be the premier high school program to develop and prepare student-athletes for the next level of their education and soccer careers.”
