In the Spotlight: Casey Brown (NSCAA.com)
Boston University women's soccer assistant coach Casey Brown was recently selected for the inaugural edition of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) 30 Under 30 program.
Brown (COM '10), hired as an assistant coach at BU in March 2013, will participate in the NSCAA year-long education and mentorship opportunity which includes 15 male and 15 female coaches. This program, which was created earlier this summer, is dedicated to supporting fledgling coaches and fostering their growth at a crucial point in their vocation.
The former defensive star for the Terriers was the first player in America East history to earn three straight Defender of the Year awards as she led BU to four NCAA tournament appearances and three conference championships. The 2009 team captain capped off her stellar career with NSCAA All-America Third Team honors and was a three-time All-Conference First Team selection. Brown anchored the Terriers' defense that forced 12 shutouts and boasted a 0.66 goals-against average that ranked 23rd in the nation during her senior campaign.
Prior to returning to her alma mater, Brown served as a graduate assistant coach at LIU Brooklyn while obtaining her master's degree in exercise physiology and sports nutrition.
"Casey has worked so hard during and after her playing days," said BU women's soccer head coach Nancy Feldman. "She received valuable experience the last two years as a graduate assistant at Long Island University under Tracey Bartholomew, she has so much passion for the program, she has so much passion for coaching, so much passion for the game. She is the kind of person that would be great at anything she does, but certainly I am glad that she has chosen coaching as her profession. It's great to have her here as part of our team."
The Natick, Mass., native holds a NSCAA National Diploma and a Massachusetts Youth Soccer E License. She has served as a counselor at several Terrier Training Soccer Camps while also volunteering with her hometown soccer club, Natick Soccer Club, and the Scorpions club team.
