“I have noticed my daughter’s enthusiasm to get to DRC on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She has shown accountability and preparation by reminding me of DRC days, initiative to sign up to the class on the Wodify app and expresses excitement to train with other athletes. She now packs IV Hydrate packets and takes her "protein snacks" for lunch because she knows we have to rush from school to 5 pm class.

On the court, she says she feels "stronger" and can get to the ball "faster". She has stated that she feels stronger when she serves and less leg soreness after a tournament. I see her endurance improving on the court, too. One of her goals is to learn to" jump high" so she can get back row hitting and now I see her "practice" what she is learning at DRC. She is aware of her height limitations but has been much more positive about goals and more positive self talk.

Outside of training and practice, she is aware of the importance of breakfast including a quality protein and asks me for "avocado toast with egg white omelet" and post workout hydration and protein. And, she definitely has focused on getting to bed early on Wednesdays knowing she has DRC the next day.

Above all, the most development I’ve seen in Sophie is CONFIDENCE! 100% CONFIDENCE. She has walked out of DRC telling me "Mom, I love this" and "I did so good today.” She is learning that conditioning/weight lifting has lifetime benefits for her overall health and mental well being. As a mother to a female athlete, the greatest joy is to see her believe in her potential and have others express that same belief in her. Ashley and the team at DRC, have made a significant positive impact on Sophie's mindset, simply by greeting her by name when she arrives to class and encouraging her during the workout.

Enrolling her at DRC has been one of the best things for her, she knows all of DRC cares about her goals and is committed to her success, on the court and in life. THANK YOU Team DRC!!!”
