Assistant Coach Amy Root

Title: WPL/DII assistant coach
Years with Glendale: Player for Glendale from inaugural season through retirement in spring 2009
Years coaching: 2 ½
Certifications/awards received: USA Rugby Coach Certification
Specialties: Back-row development and defensive specialist

My primary goal as a member of the Women’s coaching staff is to provide a style of coaching that our players can relate to, understand, execute and expand upon throughout their rugby careers.

Keep it simple, execute your role in each game with intensity, and most important … always have fun! If you aren’t having fun, then you need to ask yourself, ‘What the heck you are doing playing rugby?’ I really believe that if you are having fun, your ability to make good decisions throughout the game increases, your relationships with your teammates stay positive and supportive, and ultimately you just play better!

Upon retirement as a former Glendale player, I was fortunate to find myself in a position to assist with coaching.
