WHY DO YOU COACH:

As a youth I was involved in many sports, such as hockey, soccer, basketball, volleyball and badminton. As I got older and had a family of my own my husband and I got involved in our children’s activities. By getting involved with sports and education you see a sense of pride and ownership in the children, and when you coach you get to see a different side of the kids. It’s giving back to the community and giving the kids a positive and safe environment to just be kids and have fun.

WHO INSPIRES YOU:

The person that inspires me the most is my husband, Justin Heron. He has much patience and a great positive attitude, he is there for anyone who just needs a person to listen, strong and resilient in the face of any problems. He encourages me and others to always do our best.
