I used to sentinel Maddie Richards play basketball game because she is the same historic current equally my oldest sister. She was e'er a leader, together with she had the science to dorsum it up. That’s in all probability because…



she started playing basketball game at the historic current of 6, along with every other sport nether the Sun (she’s fifty-fifty tried her mitt at bocce ball). She received an athletic scholarship to play basketball game at Lincoln Memorial University piece earning a bird inwards do science. In 2007, Maddie took a graduate assistant lay coaching the women’s basketball game squad at Lenoir-Rhyne University. She seized this chance to acquire her masters inwards counseling for ii reasons: The kickoff is that Maddie wanted a well-rounded resume. The instant is that it helped her larn how to communicate.

Following her ii years equally a graduate assistant, in that place was a depression twelvemonth of hiring inwards the coaching community, forcing Maddie to deed dorsum home. She felt lost, together with equally a recent college graduate, I tin sack say that feeling is NOT lost on me. But let’s rewind dorsum to my senior twelvemonth of high school, vi years ago, the twelvemonth Maddie was trying to uncovering her way, the twelvemonth our paths crossed again.

Brigid Morrissey (far right) stands amongst Maddie who coached the semi-state game against Ben Davis High School inwards 2010. Their tape was 25-2 for the flavour -- the furthest whatever girls' squad had gone at Floyd Central. 


My high schoolhouse basketball game squad had an chance to brand waves inwards the terra firma tournament. Maddie was hired equally our assistant coach, together with looking back, her purpose on the squad was imperative to our success. The mightiness she had to relate to everyone on the squad was something I had never seen inwards a charabanc upwards to that point, together with she made it expect effortless. And allow me tell you, with 20 girls who are thrown together inwards a highly competitive environs twenty-four hours afterward day, attempting to move on the peace is similar trying to smash jello to a tree. But somehow Maddie establish a agency to brand that jello stick.

During that time, Maddie also establish refuge at a gym inwards Floyds Knobs called Anytime Fitness. “I knew I had establish my niche.” Maddie plant equally a personal trainer together with leads classes that she tin sack blueprint herself. “My whole affair is making fitness fun. I desire it to survive the highlight of your day.

Some of Maddie’s other goals are to furnish a identify for her clients to connect with someone else. “Anyone tin sack run someone into the ground, simply the challenge is to acquire them to come upwards back.” The video below shows Maddie at her best.


When it was fourth dimension to hang upwards her high tops, Maddie establish a agency to channel it into helping others improve themselves. “My personal destination is to aspire to inspire people to survive improve versions of themselves.” Maddie loves what she does, together with says it would survive a difficult affair to laissez passer on up. She is a trainer that wears many caps -- a teacher, a creative, a therapist, a friend. “I’m helping my clients run across physical goals, simply the mental alter is the best part.”
