Coach Bre sits down with Mary Herrick, a 40+ year tennis teaching professional and member of the RSPA (Racquet Sports Professionals Association), to talk about an upcoming live in-person event in Cleveland, Ohio on May 9th: From Pressure to Power.

🎤 Event Panelists Include:
Katie Marquardt - Two-time Winter Olympian, World Champion, US Speed Skating Hall of Fame 
Cassie Sant - Division I basketball, played pro in Italy and Australia, Cleveland Cavaliers 
Breanne McLaughlin - Two-time Olympian, 3,809 career saves, first woman to coach men's D1 hockey 
Dobie Moser (Moderator) - Notre Dame "Play Like a Champion" co-director, US Olympic Committee

This event is built for girl athletes AND their parents. The morning is a hands-on workshop covering mental skills for managing pressure, mistake recovery, and the post-game car ride conversation that most families are getting wrong. The afternoon features a powerhouse panel of women who played at the highest levels and have real stories to share about navigating pressure, doubt, and what it actually takes to stay in the game.

✅ Why the car ride home matters more than most parents realize
✅ What girl athletes need mentally that their coaches aren't teaching
✅ How Coach Bre quit volleyball at 18 despite college offers - and what she learned
✅ What a 40-year tennis coach has observed about kids who make it vs. kids who don't
✅ Why this event goes beyond sports
