SAM TRAN

Sam grew up in Tracy, California, and played competitive soccer in the Bay Area her entire childhood. She has joined Juventus as a coach after graduating from Stanford University, where she played with the women’s team for four years. Playing forward for her whole career, Sam took part in a number of big wins for the women’s team, including two NCAA championships and four PAC-12 championships. Sam is well-acquainted with the ins-and-outs of playing forward, but recognizes the value of a cohesive team and understands how the moving parts build the foundation for success. Sam strives to be a positive role model and resource for players at Juventus Academy, and she hopes they will turn to her for any guidance on and off the field. Experiencing the positive effects of youth camps herself, Sam knows how soccer can change a child’s life and relationships. With an earnest love for the sport, she shows commitment to helping our players shine.
