In this episode of The SPORTi Podcast, host Laura sits down with Coach Lexi—pro player turned performance coach and founder of Female Soccer Fitness (FSF).
From tearing her ACL three times to earning a scholarship at TMU, playing League1 Ontario, and signing a pro deal in Portugal, Lexi shares how she rebuilt confidence, why “be where your feet are” is her mantra, and the work she uses to help youth athletes move better and prevent injuries.
Now back in the GTA, she’s coaching U10/U12 and running FSF sessions focused on acceleration, change of direction, and ACL-smart mechanics—building faster, braver players on and off the pitch.
