Emily Dunne has been dedicated to educating and coaching athletes since 2012. She studied and played soccer at Adelphi University, earning degrees in Health and Physical Education and a Master’s degree in Special Education, bringing a strong educational foundation to her coaching philosophies.

Throughout her career, she has coached at Staples High School, Darien High School, Kristine Lilly Soccer Academy, and Darien Soccer Association before coaching with FUSA in Fairfield, running KidSport classes, and doing personal training. She has extensive experience working with athletes of all ages, ranging from toddlers as young as 2 years old to high school athletes, and adults.

A lifelong sports enthusiast, Emily specializes in speed, strength, and agility training, with a particular passion for coaching soccer and basketball. She is committed to creating a positive environment where athletes can develop their skills, build confidence, and foster a love of any sport they are playing.

Emily’s goal for every athlete she works with is to ensure they leave each session more skilled, knowledgeable, and confident than when they arrived-equipping each athlete with the tools and mindset to succeed both on and off the field as they continue their athletic journeys
