Coach Missie at age 15 yrs old.
"During my competitive years, I practiced every day except Sundays, took weekly private lessons, and attended ballet classes each week. It was a lot of hard work and dedication, and I gave up many other activities—but I loved every minute of it.
I can never thank my family enough for the sacrifices they made to help me pursue my dreams. Because of their support, I achieved goals I never imagined possible. Baton twirling gave me the opportunity to travel, compete, and build lifelong friendships with people from all over. Those experiences shaped who I am, and they are memories I will treasure forever.
Today, my greatest joy is sharing those same opportunities with the next generation. I love helping young athletes develop confidence, discipline, friendships, and a passion for baton twirling while creating memories that will last a lifetime."
