As a former professional- and student athlete, I strive to provide young women with a foundational understanding that it is up to us to create and envision our lives. Why? Because as we grow, achieve and succeed, we are led, cajoled and coached by adults. And while we need that in our youth, perhaps more importantly, we need to know and like ourselves. We are the ones who hold ourselves accountable. 

Did you ever notice everyone is in a hurry to adult?  But you know what? No one really knows how to do it. So, to do so with as much grace as possible, we need VISION. We need to create our own reality. When I meet and speak with female student athletes, I encourage them to become Visionaries. I create space for them to reflect and define who they are outside of sport and academics, cheering them on to uncover their authentic self! I do so by providing powerful tools and guidance conducive for learning and growth. As a student athlete, you are focused on two things: excelling as a student and an athlete.  But experience has taught me something greater is missing – forming ourselves, knowing our true worth, and using the amazing skills we learned and that are inherently female to develop our personal life game. And who’s going to do that: only we can.
