I was born in Fort Wayne, IN where I grew up playing travel soccer my entire youth career starting at age 8. I played two years up with my sister's team and on many boys teams. I was invited in to a U18 National Team Camp when I was 16 and that is what started my national team career. I was able to make the U20 National Team and win the U20 World Cup with them in Japan in 2012. It was an awesome experience! After that, I played with the U23 National Team and was called in to a handful of USWNT Camps during my career. During this time, I was also recruited during high school and committed to play soccer at UCLA. There, I was able to make an impact and help the team to its first ever NCAA National Championship Title in 2013. We also won two PAC12 Titles. I graduated early in December of 2014 and was drafted in to the NWSL in January of 2015 to Sky Blue FC as the second pick in the draft. I played 6 years with Sky Blue FC before being traded to the Chicago Red Stars for my last season in 2021. During my career I have taken part in many different types of coaching roles. In high school I coached many Damarcus Beasley National Soccer School Camps. At UCLA I coached many camps as well. During my time in New Jersey I coached as a team coach, individual 1 on 1 coach, and even group session coach. I am looking forward to extending my learning and coaching experience to Blayze!
