We’re thrilled to announce the addition of Jessica McDonald as an owner, partner, presenter and coach. Jessica’s on-field winning pedigree includes two-time NCAA Champion at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, three-time NWSL Champion at Carolina Courage and FIFA World Cup Champion with the US Women’s National Team. Jessica is also the proud mother of her son, Jeremiah. 

“I’m beyond excited for this new adventure because resilience has been a pivotal part of my journey and Soccer Resilience® has so much to offer players, coaches and clubs at all levels – youth, college and professional,” said McDonald. “Resilience is an essential trait for success in sports and in life, and the mental aspects of a person and an athlete are pivotal for overall wellbeing. I can’t wait to share my story and use my platform to help others along their journey. I’m grateful that Soccer Resilience® is committed to empowering women and people of color by including me as an equal partner in their company.”

McDonald’s agent agrees…

“From our first conversation with Wells and the partners at Soccer Resilience®, we knew this company was a perfect fit for Jessica,” said Charlie Delmar, agent at ProSport Management. “Not only does their message align with Jessica’s core values but it also gives her the ideal platform to share her story and experience with the next generation of players to impact at scale. We couldn’t be more thankful to partner up on this exciting new venture.”

OUR MISSION is to train the most underutilized competitive edge in sports, the mind; and in so doing, transform the mindset and elevate the wellbeing of athletes, coaches and others in the game.  

“Jessica will be instrumental in driving us toward our mission and we’re absolutely thrilled to add a champion at the college, pro, and World Cup levels to our ownership team,” said Soccer Resilience® Founder Wells Thompson. “She’s a woman of great character, a giving spirit, and tremendous resilience. We’re honored to do our part in building momentum for females and people of color in leadership and business ownership.”
