Coaching Testimonial: Amber Larna

There was a girl that struggled with the running part and yet she worked sooo hard.  Every session she was the one struggling. During the 5k she still struggled. As I approached her in the race, I patted her on the back, ran with her for a bit, and encouraged her.  She told me how excited she was. Her smile extended from ear to ear.  At that moment I knew it was okay to pass.  As I did I started crying… finishing the whole 5k with tears in my eyes. It is so hard for me to put into words the feelings I went through that day, but being a GOTR coach is probably one of the MOST rewarding things I have done. It is an amazing program, the things it does not only for the young girls but for their coaches.
