Today we’d like to introduce you to Rachienuzz@gmail.com Rachel Prell.
Hi rachienuzz@gmail.com, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I started playing soccer when I was three years old and instantly fell in love with the game. I went on to play for the U.S. Youth National Teams from ages 13 to 20, competing in World Cup qualifiers and becoming the first American U-17 player to score a hat trick against El Salvador. I later played Division I soccer at Wake Forest, where we won an ACC Championship. Growing up, I was always playing pickup games and doing extra training, often as the only girl on the field. Those experiences inspired me to create Soccer by Rachel, where I can share my passion, experience, and knowledge to help both girls and boys grow as players and build confidence on and off the field.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Soccer by Rachel is a club neutral soccer training facility. As SBR grew, I took a leap of faith and expanded into the club side of soccer. I wanted to create a fun, positive, and competitive environment where players could develop technically, tactically, physically, and mentally while building confidence and a love for the game. It’s been smooth!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Soccer By Rachel ?
Soccer by Rachel (SBR) is a competitive Youth Soccer Club in Ellicott City, Maryland
At Soccer by Rachel, our mission is to empower youth to reach their highest potential as both players and people in a positive, growth-focused environment.
We use modern and innovative training methods that are proven to develop players at all levels — from recreational and youth travel to college and professional play.

What does success mean to you?
I define success by the positive impact I have on my players, both on and off the field. It’s not just about winning games or championships, but about helping players grow in confidence, develop their skills, overcome challenges, and reach their full potential. Seeing players improve, enjoy the game, and become better people is what success means to me.
