In my mind if you develop the person, you increase their ability to perform on game day...

My personal experience with an injury forcing me out of the sport is one reason I am so passionate about my work with swimmers in dryland.

I have been very fortunate to serve in my role as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Chair for North Carolina Swimming for the last year.

As female coaches we need to, first and foremost, take care of each other and ourselves.

The best lesson that I've discovered in speaking with other coaches is that our coaching approach is different.

I always tell my athletes that my goal is to teach the importance of doing the right thing for the right reason even if nobody is looking.

When you take the reins of a team, ideally you will have people there to welcome you who can educate you on the current state of the culture

Running a multi-site program can bring a multitude of challenges and also rewards.

I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with and observe so many great coaches at different times in my life...

I have very few original ideas. I listen a lot. I listen to swimmers, coaches, business leaders, and education professionals.

If 2020 has taught us anything, it's that we can't control a lot of things. Things happen in life and we learn to deal with them...
