OUR SPEAKERS

Carrie Fry Robison
Finesse Soccer Founder & Director
Bailey Sosa Wilner 
Finesse Soccer Empowerment Program Director

Carrie Fry Robinson played a key role in the women’s soccer revolution in Kansas City and continues to shape the future of the game as the founder of Finesse Soccer. Carrie was one of the best high school players in Kansas City history, leading Shawnee Mission East to two State Championships, setting a Kansas state record for goals in a season (36) and earning almost every honor possible during her time with the Lancers. She was heavily recruited and turned down the likes of Northwestern, Colorado and Tennessee to play at Indiana University, where she graduated with honors from the Kelley School of Business.

Since founding Finesse Soccer in 2010, her perspective on soccer has evolved. Her personal mission is to keep girls in the game, which drives her desire to provide positive, fun and empowering environments for players to thrive. This includes physical training in the form of camps and clinics, as well as the mental side of training in the form of empowerment discussions and mental health awareness.
