THE UNIQUE ROSE SHOEN: SHE STARTED COACHING BOYS AS A TEEN, NOW RUNS THE SACRAMENTO CLUB SHE FOUNDED
You probably have not heard of Rose Shoen. That’s a shame.
The Reno, Nevada, native has quite a resume. At 14, she played in two leagues, with and against university players and adults. She played at two colleges, and was a Women’s Premier Soccer League all-star.
But it’s as a coach that Shoen is really making her mark. And she’s doing it in unusual ways, with often overlooked players.
When a group of Latino boys asked her to coach, she had to earn a license to take them to tournaments. Club finances were tight. Most players’ families could not afford to pay much, or anything at all. At their first tournament they wore T-shirts with numbers. But they were as good as better-funded, more elite teams. She helped the boys understand that soccer could be a pathway to college. “They were part of my demographic,” Shoen says.
She was hooked. She was also just 19 years old...

“The vision I have involves mentoring and developing young minority and underprivileged kids and providing educational and soccer opportunities which give them structure to succeed in all areas of their lives,” Shoen said.
When Shoen is in your corner, she will push you and stay on top of you constantly to go above and beyond any ceiling you had previously set for yourself. She won’t accept anything less, and she won’t allow her players to either...

PROTAGONIST SOCCER - CREATING A SOLUTION
The Azteca academy is a low cost option for the Sacramento community. The club members partake in futsal sessions, physical conditioning and are guided through the process of how to apply for colleges in the future. What sticks out about the organization, is that they perform grade checks. Soccer is emphasized as a privilege and can be used to take you to greater heights in the future. “ Our mission is to educate first generation student athletes about college opportunities and to open up doors for them. We are really a scholarship program,” said Shoen. “We obviously compete as a club, but our main mission is to educate these kids about how the college system works, what it takes to be a collegiate athlete and what opportunities are available to get your education through soccer,” she said when describing the benefits of her academy...
