Maria Harvey (Picard) brings an elite level of experience and a lifelong passion for the game to her training. She made history as the youngest player to compete at the varsity level at just 11 years old, starting all six years. At 15, she was selected to play alongside Angela Hucles in the Women’s semi-professional W-League with the Boston Renegades, at a time when no professional women’s league existed. She later trained under legendary coach Tony DiCicco with the Super-Y United States National Team in Florida before competing at the collegiate level with the UConn Huskies women's soccer and finishing her career at the Northeastern Huskies women's soccer. Maria went on to be drafted into the Women’s Professional Soccer League combine with the Boston Breakers, where she trained alongside icon Kristine Lilly. Today, Maria’s mission is rooted in building confidence—because she believes confidence is half the battle in any sport. She is dedicated to helping young female athletes develop elite footwork, attacking instincts, playmaking ability, and the confidence to perform under pressure, including mastering play with their back to the net.
