She showed promise as a young player and was even given the opportunity to train with the Italian National program. Her career there includes four international caps with the U19 Italian National Team. Ultimately, her career brought her to Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania, where she had the opportunity to play Division 2 in the NCAA. Upon leaving Gannon University, she realized her passion for coaching and moved to England to pursue her UEFA qualifications. After a year abroad, she returned as one of the highest qualified female coaches in all of Canada.

"I joined a ProSoccerGlobal UK tour in January 2020 and knew immediately that I wanted to bring this fantastic opportunity to soccer players in Canada" My experiences in working with clubs and players in Canada, the US and Europe has developed my knowledge of different football cultures, levels and styles of play and has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of what it takes to really look after a player and work with them to help develop their career. I truly believe that football is so much more than just a game. My love for using it to bring people from all cultures and walks of life together is my motivation behind the ProSoccerGlobal vision. https://coachmariasoccer.com/about-coach-maria
