Not yet, but once I get things together I want to train student-athletes around here. I feel like it's a big market, especially around here, that is neglected. I mean we've got some REALLY GOOD athletes coming out of this area in basketball, football, etc. and I feel like this could be an area that will make big money.
PS. I'm talking high school here...

When I started, I was training people from my college dorm (some students and some student-athletes). They noticed my changes, esp after x-mas break then I had some enlist and once they got progress, things kinda took off from there.
Ive also trained HS athletes, those are interesting but are very rewarding when you hear about how badass they do on the field.
Next stop, pro athletes

I train/coach HS rowers during their off seasons, but I think it's a little different (than what you're asking) because I've coached DI rowing as well.
I love working with young women; it's definitely my passion (and it doesn't hurt that some of their parents have asked me to train them, too!).

Right. Well, what I meant, was that I remember clearly the day that I realized I could do anything I put my mind to. I like helping other young women realize this, too, and I believe that through good education, proper training, and a lot of hard work, a girl can begin to learn who she really is. That is so exciting to watch!
