My name is Joanne Cramond, I am from Scotland originally where I grew up with a ball at my feet playing soccer in my hometown of Aberdeen. I played for my club team, Aberdeen ladies throughout my career where I played as a Central Midfielder and also central defense. During my soccer career I played in Sweden, Germany and also for my country at u19 international elite level which was an amazing accomplishment and something I am proud of. During my club career I was offered a scholarship to play at Collegiate level at Oklahoma State but during my last game with Aberdeen I tore my ACL which meant I had to give up my scholarship, so instead I took up coaching and I found myself traveling around the world and U.S coaching soccer.
I was referred to NCSA by parents who’s children I had coached and found that this was a unique company who values each individual child and family that goes through the recruiting process and at NCSA we truly are making differences in the lives of student athletes and families which is extremely rewarding.
When I am not working at NCSA I am coaching soccer in Chicago, riding my bike or socializing with friends.
