HEAR FROM HEAD COACH CLARISSA CHUN 

“Our women know how to bring a lot of energy. They know how to have fun, keep it light, but they also know how to flip that switch and get to business. That’s what is so special about our team, how they have found a way to do that, because it allows them to just be them. They focus on what is in front of them, and try not to worry too much about what the outcome is. Because at the end of the day, we’re just here to enjoy the moment and the process along the way, and just soak it all in.”
