Another great hire by JB:

Celi also has coached internationally. While serving as a missionary in Brazil, she was the co-head coach of the Cotia Women’s Professional Soccer team based in Sao Paulo in 2007.

Very nice credentials indeed.

Welcome to the LU family!

Not only do her credentials look very impressive, but SHE will give our head coaching contingency diversity both with her gender and her youth. I don't want tokenism, but IMHO it is a good thing for LU to not have our head coaches an all male group.
