More than a swimmer: how nearly losing my sport (and life) showed me who I really was.
When I was invited to speak at a local county swim and dive banquet one year ago, I was over the moon. I love to get on stage and speak about the things that I'm passionate about, whether it's about health, business, or even surviving cancer. But when you give me a platform to talk to teens and their parents about the one thing that has woven through the fabric of my life since I was 6 years old--swimming--that brings the excitement and joy to the next level. So needless to s

Are you the parent of a girl athlete? 10 things to know right now.
Female athletes have a million awesome attributes that make us way cooler than boys. Girls rule and boys drool, right? Even though we are sugarier (word invention), spicier, and everything nicer than our male counterparts, we have some unique considerations to worry over that sometimes make being a female athlete a challenge. When I was growing up in sports, I remember being told by a coach at age 10 that I had to watch what I was eating otherwise it would negatively affect m

Fueling Female Athletes: What's a girl athlete to eat? (Part 1)
I know...you may be knee deep in sugar cookies, holiday parties and school celebrations. The last thing you want to hear is talk about "eating right." Maybe you would prefer to hit snooze on this topic and re-examine it on January 1st. No problem! I'll be back! In fact, this blog isn't going to be your average nutrition and food blog. Far from it.

The secrets every new PT needs to know
They say hindsight's 20/20, right? 7 years and 2 days ago I earned my DPT degree from Emory University. I graduated with highest honors and history repeated itself. Just like my K-12 years, I never made a B in PT school. College was a little bit of a different story (being a student athlete at Duke was hard, people).
