Coach Alli grew up in Plano, TX, playing around the community, but most notably with North Texas club, Dfeeters. She later went on to play at Texas Tech University, where she helped lead her team to the NCAA Big 12 Championship. Her success early on and at the collegiate level helped take her game to the next level, as she was drafted to the NWSL’s Washington Spirit directly after graduating. During her time playing professionally in the United States, her talents were recognized overseas – That’s when she decided that a transition abroad would be a pivotal part of her career. In working with teams like the Irish National Team, as well as her current Watford FC, Alli’s stride in Europe has been an elemental part of her professional development as a player, and something she looks forward to continuing for years to come!
