"I’m always looking for that 1% edge to get the best out of my team and we got that in working with Betsy. Her playing and coaching background facilitated an instant ease of connection with my players and staff. She’s the best listener I’ve encountered and was able to observe our practice and give real-time feedback without being a distraction. And by no means was this a one time workshop. She checks in throughout the season to see how I’m doing which shows the investment she’s made in myself and my program."
