Episode 38 of Inside Warhawk Athletics Presented by Educators Credit Union includes a conversation with Carly Pottle, an assistant coach for the Warhawk women’s soccer team and student-athlete on the team from 2013-16. As a player, Pottle helped UW-Whitewater claim three Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular season championships, two conference tournament titles and four trips to the NCAA Tournament, including a trip to the national quarterfinals in 2015. She started all four years and finished her career among the top five in program history in goals (37), assists (20) and points (94). Pottle was a three-time first team All-WIAC selection and two-time All-North Region honoree. She graduated with a bachelor’s in physical education and a minor in coaching in 2017 and earned her master’s in professional development (athletic administration) from UW-W in 2019. Pottle is currently in her fourth year on the Warhawks’ coaching staff.
Pottle discusses her journey to UW-Whitewater, her favorite memories from her playing career, her development as a coach and the program’s adaptability to the COVID-19 pandemic.
