My childhood years were spent training on the ice in the world of figure skating. While in high school, I began coaching skaters and continue to enjoy guiding all ages through the recreational and competitive tracks in the sport I love.  As a parent, I spent many exciting hours on the sidelines at baseball, soccer, cross country and track and field events. I’ve decided to share insight I have learned along my journey with parents navigating the demands of having one or more athletes in their family.
