Women’s soccer Assistant Coach Alicia Window. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWindow, a native of Manchester, England, played Division I soccer at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and competed for Manchester City Football Club for seven years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said her coaching career began while playing in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI played at home most of my life back in England,\u201d Window said. \u201cI moved to George Washington for a new experience with soccer, and it was through there I started picking up coaching and developing a passion for it. I was looking at assistant positions, and this one stood out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That passion has since evolved into a clear purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWorking with players and seeing their development over time \u2014 I wanted to do that on a bigger scale in a team environment and stay in the college game, which I really enjoy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before arriving at Hood, Window built an impressive r\u00e9sum\u00e9 as a player. She spent seven years with the Manchester City academy, where she trained with the first team and made appearances at the top level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was with Manchester City Academy for seven years, training with the first team,\u201d she said. \u201cI got to play with the first team, and it was a surreal experience. It was a great academy, and I was lucky to be there for that long.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At George Washington, Window had a successful collegiate career. She played all four years, starting all 18 matches in her senior season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI had a great experience,\u201d she said. \u201cI came in as a center back, and midway through my freshman year, I became a striker. I enjoyed it a lot there because I could make things happen. I ended up at midfield in my senior year, and living in D.C. \u2014 it has everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Window believes her recent playing career helps her connect with the athletes she now coaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHaving come right from playing the game, I think I can definitely relay that experience,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve been in their shoes very recently and can also bring a good competitive drive to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of press time, the Blazers are three games into the fall season. Window said she hopes to instill her competitive nature in her players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI like to be really good at what I do, and I like to win,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
