In Golf, I tend to hit a fairly long ball which can often put me at an advantage for my approach shots and on longer par 5’s. I am a creative shot maker and an excellent scrambler when fighting to save par.
In Volleyball, its defense first, but I am a top server on my team and can drop bombs from pipe and outside when playing offense.
Player Strengths:
In a word, Grit. I dig deep and wont dwell on the past. I always bounce back.
My current Handicap index is 6.0 with a low index of 5.5 (2023). I recently recoded a 310 yard drive, which is my longest drive recorded.
The 2022 tour season was challenging for several reasons, including an off season rebuild of my swing. Early tournament results weren’t what I wanted, but the changes I made to my swing and my hard work, perseverance, and grit throughout the season allowed me to find success toward the end of the tour season when I had a 1st place finish in the U17 division and was the Overall winner of the McLennan Ross Alberta Junior Tour Championship, shooting a season low score of 77 to win the Overall title. I then went on to win the ASAA Alberta Provincial Championship with my High School Golf Team. I finished top ten in OOM points in Alberta on the Maple Leaf (MJT) Junior golf tour for 2022.
Leadership:
Captain of my school volleyball teams from grade 7 through 9. We won the Championship in my final year of Jr. High School and brought home the school’s first ever volleyball Championship.
