Bethany women's soccer is extremely excited to add the position of strength and conditioning coach to our staff this season. Filling the role will be former Viking Stephanie (Pipal) Howe. A former two-time All-UMAC performer as a midfielder, Coach Howe still ranks in the top ten of BLC soccer history in every major scoring category. Her return marks an exciting new chapter for Vikings soccer.
Coach Howe holds a bachelors degree in Exercise Science from Bethany. She is a NSCA-certified personal trainer and also holds specialty group fitness certifications in Mat Pilates, kettlebells, and Les Mille BODYPUMPTM.
She has over eight years of experience in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, wellness coach, and group fitness instructor.
When she's not leading a group fitness class or training a client, Stephanie spends her time as a Fitness Specialist with HealthFitness Corporation designing and implementing health improvement and health promotion programs for the employees at Seagate Technology.
Coach Lyngholm's comments: "Coach Howe gives our program a HUGE boost and fills a void we've long been lacking. She's a pro at getting the most out of a person and what she's designed for our team is as good as it gets. She is driven, demanding, and above all, provides that 'tough love' that our players need to be their best."
