Someone you\u2019d want in your corner\u2014and someone you\u2019d be thrilled to have coaching your child?  We think we\u2019ve found one worth learning from.  In the latest episode of our three-part \u201cChangemakers in Sport\u201d series, Opal\u2019s Director of Exercise + Sport, Kara Bazzi, LMFT, sits down with Liza Rickey, Head Cross Country and Assistant Distance Track & Field Coach at Issaquah High School.  Liza has led athletes to multiple State titles\u2014but that\u2019s not what makes her story so compelling. Her real success lies in how intentionally she coaches the whole athlete, weaving mental health, nutrition, mental skills, and creative, athlete-centered practices into the sport experience. She\u2019s also a true changemaker\u2014willing to challenge long-standing norms and reimagine systems to create a healthier, more supportive experience for all athletes.  Tune in for a conversation about what it looks like to coach with intention, courage, and the whole athlete in mind.
