“It was at my time in college where I discovered my passion for coaching. Attending many summer camps as a counselor and a year as an assistant coach at Byng high school, I feel ready to put together the knowledge of all my past coaches and mentors to deliver a 1 on 1 experience here at True Grit Running Company. With this club, I plan to prioritize safety, consistency, and promote a healthy, fun and competitive team in Fort Smith Arkansas.”
