“As a collegiate coach, my mission is to provide female student-athletes with the skills needed to be successful during competition, but more importantly, in life. By catering to a team first environment where positive attitudes, maturity, and athletic development reign, we will begin to see a complete, positive transformation of the student athlete’s whole self.”
