I wanted to be in the CCHA. It's a competitive conference that I was excited to be a part of, and it's closer to home for me, too.
It was a super inviting and welcoming staff. I felt like my ideas would be valued here.
Focusing on recovery and performance. Working with our Sports Performance Coach to make sure that our athletes can compete at the highest level possible.
Treating athletes as a whole person and really digging into why they are athletes, besides just their physical ability, is very important. Especially when coming up with recovery plans and getting them back on the ice after an injury. We're improving as an industry in that regard. We're looking at these young people as whole people.
