In this episode of The Chirping FC Popdcast, we are treated to a compelling conversation with Mackenzie Schissel, a Canadian-born soccer standout whose journey through the sport is nothing short of inspiring. From her days as a DivisionI soccer player in the United States, Mackenzie built a career grounded in discipline, leadership, and a deep love for the game.
Her transition from player to coach at Quincy University showcased her ability to mentor and develop young talent. But what truly stands out is her decision tostep away from coaching to embrace motherhood — a move that speaks to her authenticity and values.
Today, Mackenzie continues to leave her mark on the game in meaningful ways. As the Director of Soccer Operations at Quincy Rush Soccer Club, she’s shaping the next generation of players with a clear vision and a player-first mindset. Her work with ScoutU as a soccer scout brings her full circle — helping young athletes navigate their own college soccer paths, just as she once did.
Mackenzie’s story is one of adaptability, passion, and purpose. Whether you’re a coach, player, parent, or just a fan of the sport, this episode offers valuable insight into the evolving role of women in soccer and the power of staying connected to the game — even when the path changes.
