Teaming up with Nick over the last year has been one of the biggest game changers of my life.  Little did I know that while we were preparing for the World Championships that there would be so much overflow into my everyday life.  I have been able to change the way I view situations.  Instead of getting wrapped up in the past with things I can’t change, or worrying about the future that hasn’t happened or may never happen, Nick constantly encourages me to live in the present moment with gratitude, which has helped me tremendously both on and off the water.  I couldn’t be more grateful to have him in my corner as a coach, but more importantly look up to him as a great friend.
