“Being a part of the 30 Under 30 Program has allowed me to create connections that I otherwise might not have access to. I have had the privilege of being able to meet coaches from all levels and who coach in different capacities. The mentor that I have gained from this program is someone whom I admire and am grateful to continue learning from. The 30 Under 30 program has also exposed me to countless new resources available to coaches that can help further our growth as a coach, person, and leader. These relationships built through this program and resources gained are ones that I believe will transcend beyond this program and impact me for years to come.”
