MILTON, Mass. – Curry College women's soccer head coach Brigida Palatino has been selected by the United Soccer Coaches into its 30 Under 30 Program. The program received nearly 400 applications and 15 women and 15 men were selected as members of the 2018-19 induction class.

Launched in 2013, the United Soccer Coaches 30 Under 30 Program is a year-long education and mentorship opportunity for a select few up-and-comers who have made coaching their career of choice. The United Soccer Coaches 30 Under 30 Program is designed to give participants exposure to mentorship, and the opportunity to take advantage of educational offerings, such as diplomas and the United Soccer Coaches Convention. 

"I feel very fortunate to have been selected for the 30 under 30 program because the reputation of this program in enhancing passionate and young coaches goes beyond just the United Soccer Coaches community," said Palatino. "Not only does this program help coaches increase their soccer knowledge but more importantly it provides them with the resources to connect with fellow coaches who care more than just the X's and O's but rather in the development of the whole person. I am excited to be part of such a renowned community and how this experience will enhance the impact I can have on the student-athletes I directly work with each day."
