What Coaches and Athletes Say
“Carolyne was a great addition to our program this past season. The team responded really well to her, and she built strong relationships with the athletes right away. She was consistently engaged, approachable, and intentional in how she worked with each individual. I could see real growth in our athletes’ mental performance as the season went on — they became more focused, confident, and resilient. She was easy to work with and did a great job aligning with our goals and the specific needs of the team. Her support made a clear impact, and we truly appreciated everything she did.”
