Coach Hough and her staff were named the Landmark Conference Coaching Staff of the Year in 2019. 

"’Amy is going to be a real asset to Reading United," said Thomas “Goose” Goselin, Head Coach of the women's WPSL team. "Amy brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the game to the team.  I am excited to welcome Coach Hough and am confident that she will make an immediate impact on the success of the team."

“I am honored to join the coaching staff of Reading United’s WPSL team.”  Coach Hough added, “I look forward to working alongside Goose and adding into the Reading United women’s team as we build on last season’s achievements.”

At the youth level, Coach Hough spent time with Lehigh Valley United from 2013-2016 as well as assisting with Todd Hoffard’s 1on1 Goalkeeping camps. 

As a student-athlete, Coach Hough was an all-conference goalkeeper at La Salle University (NCAA DI, Atlantic 10 Conference), where she graduated from in 2009. During the summers, she played in the WPSL for the Philadelphia Pirates (2006) / Liberty (2007-2008).
