Another soccer-player-turned-coach here on Soccer Mom Sunday! Host Jen Siess talked with St. Louis University Soccer Great, Brionna Halverson. During her six years as a student-athlete at SLU, Bri earned a multitude of individual honors - from Defensive Player of the Year, to All Conference recognition, to their 25th Anniversary team and more. All of her individual efforts helped her Billiken team towards some of their best records, including five A-10 tournament titles, four A-10 regular-season crowns, five NCAA tournaments, and SLU's school-record 15 shutouts and 0.45 goals against average that ranked third in the nation. NOW, Bri is focused on soccer life after playing, currently as a SLU Assistant Coach, reminding us that “soccer is a game of seconds” and when it comes to an athlete’s self-advocacy, “don’t take their voice from them."

On this episode of Soccer Mom Sunday, host Jen Siess talked with budding soccer coach, Casey Beran. A former St. Louis soccer player herself, Casey grew up in The Beautiful Game, but didn’t really find that sense of “soccer family” on the club side with changing rosters, switching clubs, and/or rotating coaches. In high school at Incarnate Word, she DID find that soccer family, but burnt out on the game with lack of playing time and little explanation as to why or how. Casey finally found her sweet spot in club and intramural soccer in college at Missouri State University. Now, armed with degrees in education along with athletic administration, Casey spends time on the pitch with young girls, hoping to instill that family feeling for them, along with reaching for success!
