New Faculty Coaches - Brittany Soto

Soto came to Hopkins “because I wanted to work with kids who were motivated, who truly wanted to develop, and [who] wanted to make something of themselves personally and academically. I knew that the kids worked hard, [and] I knew that [the soccer program] was a solid program in which [they] could create something special.” One of the biggest goals Soto had “was to bring pride back to this program and really unify them.” Abby Regan ’22 described, “She shifted all of our values to put each other and the team first, so that each and every one of us worked to get better every single day. She always allowed us to ask questions and learn from our mistakes.” Taylor Jenkins ’24, a starter on the Girls Varsity
Soccer team, said that Soto has “definitely changed the girls soccer program since the day she stepped onto the field. She emphasized unity and tradition with everything we do. Girls soccer is one program and one team. Whether we win, lose, or tie ...we’re in it together no matter what.” Jenkins provided an example of the solidarity of the team: “Every game, we all wear tape on our left hand and write in the words we all collectively believe define us as a team as a reminder of the unity that holds us together. That tradition from now on will forever be carried throughout generations of teammates, as it stands for who we are as a school and people.”
