How Stephanie Hempen Builds Executive Function on the Soccer Field


Episode Description

Stephanie Hempen has coached at the highest levels of youth and collegiate soccer—but what sets her apart is how she reaches athletes who think differently. In this conversation, Stephanie shares powerful strategies for developing executive function skills through sports. From freezing play to build working memory, to scaffolding instructions in ways that meet athletes where they are, Stephanie’s methods show how coaching isn’t just about performance—it’s about learning how to learn.

We also dive into the college recruiting process and how student-athletes can break down the overwhelming task of contacting coaches into manageable steps. Whether you’re a parent, athlete, or coach, this episode highlights how sports can be a masterclass in time management, resilience, and self-advocacy.

This is more than a conversation about soccer—it’s a conversation about building lifelong skills
