I decided to create classes where brides and bridal parties could get together, network, exchange ideas and vendor information, and be around like-minded girls with similar goals.

Exchange ideas frequently.

When you work out outdoors, you must adjust swiftly to different terrain, inclines, declines, obstacles and climates. This improves your body-mind connection and sharpens your balance, agility, strength and coordination. Plus, you burn more fat and calories. You can burn 800 to 1,000 calories in a one-hour session!

The girls set individual goals. We fulfilled those goals.

Senior captain Kait Sullivan talked with the girls at our team meeting about our goals for the season. Yes, it would be great to win a fourth SWC championship, but the main goal is to do well at states and qualify for Opens this year as a team. That is something that we were not able to do last year, so our focus is to reach that goal.

We've always struggled to score goals. That's why it's been so exciting to see the girls put these type of games together.
