I have been in Windsor for just over a week now. I am settling in and enjoying my training. The facilities here are awesome, and I am getting some great technical work in. Kevin is the coach here in Windsor, him and I seem to be off to a great start. He is helping me to get my step out which allows me to have a free take off. Free take off allows me to hold higher on bigger poles, and therefore will get me to those higher heights! We still are working on getting to know each other, but I look forward to having him as a coach. I live and train with another Vaulter Dayna Maaten. Having a consistence training partner will really make a difference for me. I have always trained on my own. I can already see the benafits to having a great training partern like dayna. We are Planning for out doors, and start competing next weekend in Michigan. I am looking foreword to these up coming meets.

A little brief History
I have been pole vaulting for several years in the past season I have had my greatest achievements. I placed 3rd at nationals, which qualified me for the Francophone Games. At this international event I accomplished a personal best of 4.10m, as result I brought home the bronze medal. My Pole Vaulting career is attaining a new milestone every season paving the way to a bright promising future.
When I was young I always enjoyed being in competitive sports. Weather I was tumbling in the gymnastics center, hitting tennis balls on the court, or vaulting over bars, someday I knew I would achieve excellence in the sport I had the most passion for. Pole vaulting was my niche! When I am pole vaulting nothing else matters, I feel truly myself and confident that this is my endeavor in life. In my youth I knew I had always wanted to aspire for the Olympics, this goal I look forward to accomplishing with the great anticipation of 2012. As I learn in life never to expect success, but to know that success will follow, ambition, diligence, and heart, I am tranquil with confidence. Through the rough times and hardship I have overcome gives me resilient strength and a humble mind to persevere and complete my most endearing goals.
Currently I have returned home from training in new Zealand with Jeremy Mccoll, I was able to get some great base training in and had some great results along with winning new Zealand nationals. I have been invited back to compete and train internationally. Among this offer I have also been presented with scholarships and training requests nationally. Unfortunately Edmonton does not have the facilities or coaching I need to help advance me. However, there are numerous possibilities for an aspiring athlete in Ontario; presently I will be looking to relocate from Edmonton to Windsor within April to pursue an advanced training program. I am pleased to report that the Common Wealth Games will be held in India this year. I will be attending the qualifying rounds with great expectation for competing in this international event.
The Goal is to create a supportive environment and surround myself with people who are positive and believe in me so that I can accomplish all my dreams!!
