#4 My first solo competitive kids.
Back in 2007 I was given 8 kids, no instruction manual and a stopwatch. Little did I know what a life changing experience it would be. Stef, Lia, Anastasia, Sarah, Anita, Jessica, Brigitte and Maddie had mostly trained with me before but this time it was just them and me. We laughed, we cried (well, they did) I changed them and they forever changed me. In so many ways this was my greatest coaching education and to share it with them was truly an amazing experience.
Stefani, Brigitte and Jessica were so often the highlights and greatest challenges of my rookie year and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
