Now over the past 5 years, DJ has been a trainer for EDP teams in Gloucester Township & this past year followed in her Sister’s (Carly Witherow) footsteps & coached ACS Varsity Soccer for the 2023 Fall season. “I am a coach because of the kids & passion I have for the sport itself. There is no other feeling quite like helping young athletes further develop their natural persistence, determination, discipline, dedication, resiliency, work ethic, heart, leadership skills, connection with, and respect for others, not only in competition, but in life!”
