When I first started out as a coach in this sport, my mentor and Head Coach for the club I was working for at the time, sat me down and said “Katie, you need to manage your energy levels better.”

I picked my club based on FUN

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with a team”.

Athletes must learn to take ownership over their careers. It is vital that this mental characteristic is developed early in an athlete’s career.
