Join us for our February installment of Food for Thought featuring guest speaker Beverly Yanez, Head Coach of Racing Louisville Football Club! Known for her attention to detail, tactical knowledge, and dedication to individual development, Yanez immediately impressed Racing players upon her arrival in Louisville as an assistant in 2023. She was named head coach in November ahead of the 2024 season. A former standout player for the Seattle-based club now known as OL Reign, Yanez worked three years in the National Women’s Soccer League as an assistant coach after retiring, spending two seasons with NJ/NY Gotham FC before moving to Louisville in 2023. She helped Racing reach this year’s UKG NWSL Challenge Cup final and led Gotham’s run to the 2021 Challenge Cup final and the 2021 NWSL Playoffs. The California native, who grew up near Los Angeles in Moreno Valley, earned her U.S. Soccer Federation A-Senior license in 2023. She won two NWSL Shields and was a Best XI selection and finalist for the league MVP award in 2015. She helped OL Reign reach two NWSL finals, tallying 25 goals and nine assists in 123 appearances.
