"Emiria is tough, intense, and can be a harsh coach. But she is also honest, caring, and has a heart of a champion. My daughter has had the toughest struggles of her soccer career with Emiria, but she also has had the greatest gains and growth as a player and woman on her team. Her captains are driven and expect nothing short of excellence from the players, this is cultivated by Emiria and Luna, her assistant coach. Emiria coaches and expects her captains to lead these young women on and off the field. Yes, being a Sonoma woman soccer player is not a walk in the park. It's not the fun experience of youth club soccer or high school. It demands that you grow and go beyond anything you thought you could achieve on and off the field. Yes, you will cry, scream, fall dead with exhaustion, but if you can make it beyond the pain you will have memories and friends to last a lifetime. I hope players will look beyond the few bad reviews and go and experience Sonoma Womens Soccer and make their own opinions."
