South Bend holds a special place in Josie's heart because it's where she student-taught and attended Saint Mary's College. During her time there, she met so many incredible people and had the opportunity to play and learn rugby, a sport she had never experienced before. With experience as both an athlete and coach, she has a deep passion for sports and the power they have to bring people together. In the past, she coached middle school basketball and high school volleyball. What she loves most about sports is how they unite individuals toward a common, positive goal. She's excited to continue learning and applying my knowledge on the field this season.
