Temple Academy is excited to introduce our new girls’ varsity soccer coach, Amanda Isgro.
 

A native of Cumberland, Maine, Amanda is no stranger to soccer. After an active youth in club and Olympic development soccer programs Amanda spent four years playing varsity at Waynflete High School, playing against many of the same teams that Temple Academy rivals today.

During a successful tenure at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, Amanda continued her soccer career, playing all four years. This put her in competition with NESCAC and NCAA Division III teams.

Phil Hubbard, former athletic director and former varsity soccer coach, says “Amanda is the perfect fit to take over the program. Last fall I had the chance to play a pick up game with the middle school and Amanda participated in the soccer game. I immediately knew Amanda had played at a high level and was passionate about the game. She had an awareness of the fine details of the game but made the game simple. This is a perfect match to help develop our program with a heart to reach our lady student athletes”.

Since then, Amanda went on to a career first in social services, then into community banking. Eventually, Amanda left the business world and has spent the last seven years at home, full time, raising her five children with her husband, Nick. During this time, she has continued to be active in the central Maine soccer community by playing an active role on the Waterville Youth Soccer Association board of directors, as well as coaching teams of her own within that program.

When she is not coaching soccer or busy with her family, Amanda loves to spend time exploring the outdoors. In the summer she splits her time between her home in Waterville and her camp on Barker Pond in Hiram. With her own children at Temple Academy, Amanda is excited to expand her involvement in the school community as the varsity girls’ soccer coach.
