In the spring of 2003, Partridge worked as a sport psychology consultant assistant at IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla. IMGA is largely recognized as the most advanced and successful training and educational facility ever created for young athletes. Partridge earned a bachlor's in psychological and brain sciences from Dartmouth College in 2004. She holds a master?s degree in health, human performance and recreation, with specialization in sport pedagogy from Baylor. Partridge has also earned national diploma and advanced national diploma coaching licenses from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

At SFA, Partridge will have a hand in all phases of the program, from recruiting, to planning workouts, to game-day coaching.

"Kelli's main responsibility will be to handle the behind-the-scenes things that go on with running a successful program," Van Linder said. "On the field, her sports psychology experience will be as valuable to us as her coaching knowledge."
