Prior to pursuing a professional football career, Coss had taken up modelling. During a photo shoot, she turned up with a broken nose from playing football and the agency demanded she quit playing, however she chose to give up modelling due to her love of playing football. In her youth, Coss considered herself to be a tomboy and would play in boy's teams up to her early teens. In 2003, she described her favourite footballer as David Beckham.{{cite news |url=https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/355873.i-gave-modelling-career-the-boot/ |title=I gave modelling career the boot |author=Will Scott |work=News Shopper |date=17 September 2002 |access-date=29 October 2022}}
