My name is Ali Miller. I grew up living and breathing soccer. I jumped around a bit and played for a few clubs but the main portion of my younger years were spent with Sonoma County Alliance (now known as North Coast FC), Santa Rosa United and Analy High school. I played for the Santa Rosa Junior College for my first two years then transferred on scholarship to Fort Lewis in Colorado. At the Fort I was recognized for various accomplishments like breaking the fitness test record upon arrival, as well as accolades like 'Goalkeeper of the Week'. I coached goalkeeper clinics for the younger clubs while in Colorado. I am currently working towards completing my personal training certification to add more value to my sessions and widen my knowledge on health and nutrition. Transitioning from playing to coaching has been an incredible learning experience. My goal as a coach is to increase the preparedness of the player both mentally and physically, building confidence on all levels—as a player and a person.
