Brooke also competed at a high level as part of the Olympic Development Program (ODP) Minnesota team for three years, traveling across the country for camps and games.

Julie Valladares Gomez - Girls Soccer Co-Head Coach 

Playing soccer taught me important lessons in teamwork and discipline. I'm excited to give back to the program that I was once a part of and help players grow both on and off the field. I'm looking forward to coaching, building a strong team culture, and having some fun along the way!
