Madi Kinzer grew up in Tucson, Arizona. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, where she quickly learned that being the hardest working player on the field will lead to great success. During Madi’s youth, she played center back for Tucson Soccer Academy and played on Varsity from freshman-senior year for Ironwood Ridge High School. As a junior, she began to play semi-professionally on Tucson FC and continued to play with this team throughout college. Madi Kinzer started and played soccer at the University of Oklahoma and the University of Washington, two highly ranked, competitive, Division 1 colleges. During her senior year of college, she had the opportunity of playing professionally, but decided that her true passion was in coaching and leading others.

 

After college, she became a successful personal trainer and group fitness instructor, working on developing and pushing individuals to achieve their fitness goals. She began coaching soccer again because she recognized the importance of youth soccer development and the impact she could make in this sport. Madi Kinzer now owns Madi Kinzer Training, with the goal of helping all levels of soccer players reach their full potential and to offer the personal guidance she wish she had when she was a player.
