- Title:
- Director of Performance Leadership
Nora Maguire White came back to her alma mater to assist the women's soccer staff prior to the 2020-21 spring campaign.
White officially returns to JMU after a Hall of Fame lacrosse career for the Dukes and continuing work in the athletics field with development of both athletes and coaches. While at JMU, she was a two-time All-American and three-time all-league selection, earning Player of the Year awards in two different conferences and playing on multiple national teams.
Â
"I am ecstatic about combining my love for my alma mater, my long-standing friendship with Josh Walters and the experience I've developed over the last 30 years in coaching, player development, and coaching education in helping to build a high performance culture within the JMU Women's Soccer Program," White said.
Â
"Nora will be the architect of our student-athlete-led team culture," Walters said. "Providing education, context and action to maximize our ability to perform on and off the field through development of personal/individual and team culture and values. She is able to connect our vision of the future to the soul of what JMU is: having a JMU Hall-of-Famer who is one of the best soccer coaching educators in the country join our staff is monumental in advancing our goals to be a top team nationally."
