## Caption

As I enter my first meet week as a coach, I can’t help but look back on my time as an athlete. All the highs, the lows, the really lows, and the really highs. The rollercoaster that is collegiate equestrian took its hold on me, and being on this side of it is nothing short of my calling in life. 
While I’m not sure how it’s possible, I respect my coaches even more. The choices they’ve had to make, were ALWAYS in their athletes best interest, and I could not be more grateful to have been one of those. 
I will always miss the good ole days, however, not a second goes by where I regret being a coach. These girls are a God send, and I hope and pray I can help lead them to amazing places, and I just can’t wait to make the same kinds of memories, only I’m the one handing out the high fives 🥹
