After a four-year playing career with the Islanders, Kennedy Stelling joined the staff of head coach Daniel Clitnovici and the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi soccer team in July 2024. The 2025 season will be her second as an assistant coach.

Stelling began her coaching tenure working directly with the goalkeepers and defensive line, helping lead the Islanders to the most successful season in program history in 2024. Under Stelling's guidance, keeper Zoe Theriot was named to the All-Southland Conference Second Team while also winning three different Southland Conference Goalkeeper of the Week Awards on August 20, August 27 and October 29 and leading the conference in total shutouts with eight. The team also allowed the third-lowest opponent scoring average in the conference (1.20) and also finished third overall in save percentage with a mark of .791.

Prior to coaching, Stelling went down as one of the most accomplished goalkeepers in Islanders program history, playing in 38 total games and starting 32 across her four years with the team. Among Islanders keepers, the Dallas native ranks third in a number of different statistical categories, including minutes (2,959:58), wins (8), saves (172) and goals against average (1.46). She also sits tied for second in shutouts with seven. Before college, Stelling played at Rowlett High School, where she was named the 6A Goalkeeper of the Year in back-to-back season in 2019 and 2020.

Outside of her duties with the soccer program, Stelling works as the supervisor of ticket operations and sales in the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi athletics department while also being the Goalkeeper Director for Sting Soccer Club in Corpus Christi.

Stelling graduated from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi with her Bachelor's degree in Business Marketing in May 2023, and she would later go on to earn her Master's degree in Business Administration and International Business in December 2024.
