In college, I played lacrosse and rugby and became a player-coach for both college sports.  During college, I got my coaching minor and when I graduated and became a teacher and I started coaching basketball and track.  

 

Starting a family made it harder for my husband and I to both follow our coaching passions so I stopped coaching high school sports and only coached elementary sports.   I continued to work out and play rugby and basketball .

 

Then my husband and I found CrossFit in 2015.  My love for team sports and being a part of a community made CrossFit the perfect fit.  Even though you are not on a team the comradery of the gym community is very much like any team sport.  Coaching is a love of mine and now I can follow my coaching passion with a group of people that I love and enjoy being with.
