I find it most challenging to find a balance between work, coaching, and family. I strive to be the best I can at anything that I do, so I find it difficult to make time for everything. I always feel like I am not giving enough attention or dedication to one of them. I am really hard on myself about that.

What is your favorite quote and what does it mean to you?

The tongue has no bones but is strong enough to break a heart. — So be careful with your words. I think people forget that words can hurt. It is not always what you say but how you say it. No one has the right to be mean to another. Think before you speak!
