specialist statement

Striving for equity in and out of the water. I have a unique perspective as a female coach to young women and men. As a 4x Olympic medalist starting in my teens and I understand the demands of the sport of teens and how to thrive through pressure and team dynamics. It's also important to me to give back. I'm passionate about helping others create clubs and groups for kids and teens who might not otherwise have the opportunity to be a part of sport.
