Coach Jill was a two sport athlete in High School, playing both basketball & soccer from 2007-2011 at Lakeland High School. During basketball season, she was a Varsity starter Junior and Senior year, and made Captain her Senior year. She was a Varsity soccer player as a Freshman and started all 4 years, along with being a Captain her Junior and Senior. Although scouted to play soccer in college, an injury unfortunately ended her professional athletic pursuits.

In 2019, her children’s love of sports revitalized her athletic passions and she began coaching basketball, soccer and baseball for all youth ages when they started competing in sports. Coach Jill joined the JD7 Coaching Staff in early 2023 during our inaugural Select 7 Boys Season.
