Before the 2023 season, Ellie Cooper was named the Player Performance Director for the Seminoles. She is in charge of implementing and developing the mental game and player performance while assisting with the day-to-day operations of Florida State softball.
In her first season in the new role, Cooper was a vital piece to the Seminoles' success in the 2023 season. Under Cooper, the Seminoles posted a 58-11 record and were National Runner-Ups at the Women's College World Series. The Seminoles also won another ACC Regular Season Championship after going 19-2 in conference play and won their second-straight ACC Tournament Championship.
Cooper was a member of the Seminoles from 2014-17 and was on staff as a Student Assistant during the Seminoles’ 2018 National Championship run.
During her time at Florida State, she was named to the All-ACC team twice (2015 and 2016) and was named a member of the NFCA Southeast All-Region Second Team in 2016. During her time in Tallahassee, she hit .319 with 122 RBI, 31 doubles, seven triples and seven home runs while getting on base 41.7 percent of the time. Cooper was a mainstay at second base, playing in 243 games in her career and finishing with a .960 fielding percentage.
In her four seasons at FSU, the Noles won four ACC Championships and reached four NCAA Super Regionals with two trips to the Women’s College World Series.
