Why have you joined AMP? I believe in the vision of the mentorship program as it is consistent with what we have been doing at the University of Minnesota Duluth since the fall of 1998. Our approach is the global development of the women’s game using a Holistic approach. We have recruited and coached 22 Olympians from many different countries hoping to help grow the international game and win NCAA championships. I also joined this mentorship program because I was the first female head coach of a national team and the only female head coach at the 1998 Olympic Games. I think it is important that those of us that have been invested since the beginning be involved in continuing to grow the game and have a positive influence on the direction of our game.
