Taylor Brittingham

Brittingham joined the South Alabama soccer team in the spring of 2022. She came from Southern Illinois-Carbondale, where she served as the women's soccer interim head coach for one season. While with the Salukis, her coaching produced an all-Missouri Valley Conference Freshman Team player, a conference scholar-athlete team player and a State Farm MVC Good Neighbor award-winner. The team also saw major increases in shots, shots on goal, corner kicks and goals per game.

Prior to SIU Carbondale, Brittingham was a graduate assistant and goalkeepers' coach at Missouri Southern State University for two years. In her time with the Lions, Brittingham's coaching helped the team reduce their goals allowed per game from 2.72 in 2019 to 1.75 in 2021. Her coaching assisted in producing all-conference first- and second-team selections alongside three United Soccer Coaches Athlete of Distinction award winners. 

Before arriving at MSSU, she coached at Atlanta Strength and Conditioning and was a volunteer coach for Sandra Burris, Director of the South Carolina Olympic Development Program.

Brittingham received her bachelor's in business management from South Carolina State University in 2018, where she was a goalkeeper for the women's soccer team. She had five starts and recorded a shutout in a 3-0 victory over Shaw University in her final season with the Bulldogs. 

Prior to playing at South Carolina State, Brittingham was a goalkeeper at Campbellsville University, where she helped the Tigers to third-place finishes at the Mid-South Conference Tournament and the NCCAA Division I Nationals. 

Brittingham's professional soccer career included time with the Knoxville Force (2016) and Alabama FC (2018) in the Women's Premier Soccer League.

Brittingham received her USSF E Coaching License from Oglethorpe University in 2015.
