I started team sports in my 40's and racquet sports in my 50's. I understand the joys and challenges of learning something new at all ages. Although I've been a lifelong athlete, my professional background is as a mental health practitioner and professional trainer. I bring all of that experience to my understanding of how adults learn best.
