"Going through the process of finding the right coach and having a great connection with Izumi has been the best thing I've done being in this sport. I don't have to think about what I should be doing anymore. I just do what she plans out for me. I trust her to push me and get the results without injury!! She has always been very hands on and checks on my progress frequently. She is a phone call or text away whenever I need her. She understands my lifestyle of work and family and adjusts to however I need my training to work for me. She gets it because she has been there herself. She is very encouraging and enthusiastic about whatever I put forth. It's great to have a role model who is equally dedicated to the sport, competitive and very much part of the community. I can only say the best things about her because she has changed my training and lifestyle for the better!!"
