Season 2 Episode 14 Kendyl Baird: Across the Country and Back by Coaches Corner ChatsIn this episode, I chat with Kendyl Baird, newly appointed assistant coach at Warren Wilson Mens Soccer Program!  Kendyl previously spent time in Montana as a graduate assistant at Montana State-Billings and assistant coach at Emory and Henry College.  She is a native of North Carolina and home is very important to Kendyl! Kendyl shares the importance of family and her parents nurturing her passion the game of soccer and ultimately coaching soccer.  Kendyl had a very successful playing career in high school and in college at Kings University in Tennessee.  Injuries curtailed her hopes of a professional career.  But, as one door closes, another opens! Kendyl has been blessed with great mentor coaches who have given her opportunities to grow and develop as a coach.  Challenging herself is something that is apparent when you listen to Kendyl's chat.  The move to Montana was a big step ... literally!  The move across the country put her out of her comfort zone, but she embraced the experience!  And now she is breaking the mold by joining the mens soccer program at Warren WIlson!  The head coach is excited to have Kendyl on his staff and she cannot wait to get to work! Kendyl also talked about developing and growing her confidence as a coach.  Really cool insight! Kendyl is always looking to learn and connect with other coaches!  You can connect with Kendyl on Twitter @kendyl_lianna Thanks for listening and supporting the podcast! #CoachesCornerChats @coachesletschat Podcats Host Mr. Kieron Boyle @coach_boyle Let's go!  Peace!
