I started with the sport last summer as I was trying to find something to do after I graduated from SLU. I played lacrosse all through high school and college and knew I would have to leave it behind once I graduated. I wanted to not be training and figuring it all out on my own, which was why I came to the club. I am involved at my local YMCA and love incorporating their spinning, body pump, & yoga classes into my training.
