Anna grew up in our small ski club where I was a director and she made it without any of the resources most top athletes have. Her parents have been exceptionally supportive to the whole club with 600+ kids and not the typical stereotypes associated with some talented kids.
My wife has also taught some of the kids in the family and they stood out as quality people.
My interest in the club started with self-interest - what we like to do - but it became a super cool mission to support all the activities, work the facilities, and help the many programs we have. If Anna doesn't win a medal, she and her family get one for being extraordinary volunteers and helpers and doing so much more just via our small and relatively ghetto facility.
I'll be watching for news or events just because of the special privilege it's been knowing this family. Good luck Anna!
