- MOUNTAIN TOPS ARE SMALL. AND THE AIR IS THIN. It’s so difficult to stay the best. Even the most legendary companies spend years at a time reinventing themselves.

- RISK IS OPPORTUNITY. Taking a 85% pay cut to be a second assistant coach at a college team was a massive risk when coaching in itself, leave alone in any form of women’s soccer, seemed like an unviable career option.
- BE TRUE TO YOURSELF. Lifeblood to coaching is recruiting (and especially in college soccer, where Jill spent many seasons with UCLA). Distancing her professional demeanor with her personal self was tough.
