Indi Armstrong Cowie (born 24 September 1994) is a Scottish American professional freestyle footballer and football coach. She became an assistant coach to Anson Dorrance at the North Carolina Tar Heels when a knee injury caused her retirement from college soccer. [3] Cowie had previously played as a midfielder or forward for Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL) club Celtic and won three caps for the Scotland women's national under-17 football team. [4]

Cowie was born in Florida to parents from the West of Scotland. She was inspired to take up freestyle football after observing a demonstration by John Farnworth. [5] In 2012 male footballer Lionel Messi picked Cowie as the winner of a global freestyle football competition tied in with the FIFA Street video game. [6] As of 2014, Cowie practices her skills for one to three hours per day. [7] In 2015, Cowie became the first woman to do a three revolution - three full circles around the soccer ball with the foot while it is still in the air. [8]
