As far as my Motivational Speaking - I speak mainly to athletes, coaches, parents, and communities about the Benefits of Sports Participation.  I share a lot of my personal stories..How sports shaped me into a strong and confident woman, sports taught me how to communicate when I was scared to death to speak in a classroom, sports taught me how to fail and rise again - resilience. It taught me how to deal with a challenging coach/boss etc.   Sports goes far beyond the game itself…..   I also speak to a lot of school administrators about the life lessons we should be teaching our student athletes.  Why it’s crucial to have students involved in sports but also that not ever kid should get a trophy.  Through our sports participation we should be teaching life lessons….and teaching them how to lose is one of them.  Not creating opportunities where it’s easier for the student to “win.”
