Write a memory/story about this coach.

Caitlin has taken the team on several off-island competitions. She has packed her car full of athletes, skis, rifles and driven for hours to give the team new competitive experiences. During these excursions she helps build on the athlete performance, but also the fabric of the team.

What lesson(s) has this coach instilled in you/athletes/or others?

Caitlin has instilled the lesson of resiliency in sport. Biathlon is a very tough sport where performance can vary significantly from event to event. She works hard to teach the athletes to focus on the now, and not let past performance jade their future performance.
