Hiking, outdoor activities, motivating others
After a hip replacement, I shifted from daily running to daily hiking along with other outdoor activities. As a women's basketball coach and track and field coach for thirty-five years, I'm highly skilled in motivation, planning and organizing practice modules to improve performance. One comment I would say to my athletes is: "The better I know you, the better I can motivate you."
