Meet the Coach

Now in her second year as Stevenson’s varsity softball coach, Aubrey Cousins is committed to building a strong foundation for the school’s female athletes, both on the field and in life.

Aubrey’s approach to coaching blends discipline with fun, ensuring players fall in love with the sport while learning the importance of teamwork and consistent effort.

Aubrey Cousins is an assistant athletic director at Stevenson and the head softball coach, where she leads both junior varsity and varsity student-athletes through a program rooted in empowerment, mental growth and competitive preparation. She also teaches PE to Middle Division students on Stevenson’s Carmel campus, coaches volleyball and basketball, and serves as an Upper Division dorm head.

She prioritizes the enjoyment of the game, creating a space where athletes can explore their potential, develop essential skills, and grow confident in their abilities. At the varsity level, Aubrey’s coaching philosophy shifts toward the mental aspects of competition and high-level performance.

While her teams are continuously growing toward championship-level competition, Aubrey draws from her own experience as a postseason athlete and understands the steps required to build winning habits. She centers her coaching around mental toughness, strategic thinking and emotional readiness – preparing athletes for not only competition and collegiate opportunities, but also for life beyond sports. Her mission is to cultivate a program that values resilience, personal growth and shared success, ensuring every athlete leaves with stronger character and a lifelong love for the game.

Aubrey was a three-sport varsity athlete in high school – volleyball, soccer and lacrosse – while also playing travel softball outside of school. After high school, she went on to play collegiate softball at California State University Monterey Bay, earning a degree in Kinesiology with a focus on wellness. Aubrey later earned her master’s in public health, writing her thesis on “Mental Health in Collegiate Athletes – Post Covid.”

Aubrey believes that participating in multiple sports fosters more well-rounded athletic development, enhancing coordination, competitiveness and resilience across disciplines. Multi-sport athletes also stand out in the college recruiting process, showcasing adaptability, reduced injury risk and a strong foundation for long-term success.
