About Athletes of Life

Built to Help Her Train, Grow, and Find Her Path.

Athletes of Life is a girls-focused soccer development organization helping female athletes build their game, confidence, and understanding of what comes next.

Through Academy training, Private Sessions, and College Soccer Recruiting Advisory, we connect purposeful development with clear, human guidance for athletes and their families.

Our Mission

Every female athlete deserves a clearer path forward.

Our mission is to create environments where female soccer players can train with purpose, grow with confidence, and pursue meaningful opportunities with guidance they can trust.

We believe athlete development is more than completing drills. It requires understanding the athlete's goals, recognizing what she needs, and connecting her training to the person and player she is becoming.

Born to Shine.

What We Believe

The standards behind every Athletes of Life experience.

Athlete-First Development

We begin with the athlete's current level, position, needs, and goals.

Whole-Athlete Growth

Technical, physical, tactical, cognitive, emotional, and personal development are connected.

Girls-Focused Environments

Our programs are intentionally designed around the development and experiences of female athletes.

Honest Guidance

We provide clear direction without guaranteeing scholarships, roster positions, or specific athletic outcomes.

Human Connection

Athletes and families should feel supported by people who listen, communicate, and care about the journey.

Our Development Method

Observe. Understand. Plan. Develop. Adjust.

01

Observe

See where the athlete is today.

02

Understand

Listen to her goals, concerns, position, and experience.

03

Plan

Identify the development priorities that can help her move forward.

04

Develop

Train the technical, physical, tactical, and cognitive areas connected to those priorities.

05

Adjust

Continue observing, communicating, and refining the process as the athlete develops.

This method guides the Athletes of Life experience across Academy training, Private Sessions, and future coaching programs.

Meet the Founder

Ana built what she once needed.

Ana Caroline Egeling, Founder and Lead Coach of Athletes of Life
Ana Caroline EgelingFounder & Lead Coach

Ana came from Brazil with a dream of continuing her soccer journey in the United States. Without money, connections, or a clear roadmap, she learned to create her own videos, contact coaches, and navigate unfamiliar opportunities herself.

Her experience showed her how difficult the path can feel when an athlete has ambition but no clear system or trusted person guiding the next step.

Ana created Athletes of Life so female athletes and their families could experience something different: purposeful training, honest guidance, personal connection, and a clearer path forward.

"I want every athlete to understand where she is, what she needs, and what her next step can be. She should never feel like she has to figure everything out alone."
The Future of Athletes of Life

Founder-led today. Built to serve more athletes tomorrow.

Ana currently leads the coaching and development experience. As Athletes of Life grows, the organization may welcome additional coaches who align with its athlete-first philosophy, coaching standards, safety expectations, and commitment to female athletes.

The goal is not simply to add more coaches. It is to prepare coaches to deliver a consistent Athletes of Life experience—one built on observation, communication, purposeful development, and care.

A Future Coaching Team

As Athletes of Life grows, additional coaches may be selected and prepared to deliver the program according to the organization's development method, safety standards, and values. Individual coach profiles will be shared here once coaches are hired and approved for publication.
