As coaches, Joan and I won a conference championship at the division 1 women’s level (NCAA - USA) under difficult circumstances. At a young age Joan showed incredible commitment, work ethic, passion for the game, honesty and excellent people skills which were key to propel our project forward. Joan remains a great friend and trusted colleague.
