Shorecrest Head Coach says “Known to most as “VP”, she is the ‘mamma’ of the team. Her athletes cherish her, her coaches respect her and she is simply the best.
“VP” has the distinct ability to know exactly when to push an athlete to the max, hold their hand for comfort and when to turn them loose and let them fly. She’s an amazing coach, fabulous human being and a great friend.”
