Regional Manager Castle Rock

Katie Beaudoin was born and raised in Colorado. She started playing soccer as a small child, starting coaching in some capacity at the age of 16 and never stopped. Now with two adult children of her own, Katie has seen the sport through a player’s eyes, a coach’s eyes, and a parent’s eyes. Katie believes that coaching is best done by figuring out each player's learning style and using methods within that style to teach the game she loves, soccer. Katie thoroughly enjoys working with coaches, players, and parents alike.
