the REVIEWS
“Keri was one of my most influential coaches I’ve ever worked with. She was always there to help me with the technical elements, short game and putting. As well, her mental coaching has not only affected me on the golf course, but off as well. She prioritizes relationship building, confidence and empowerment in everything she does as a coach. There were many tough moments in my career that I got through because of Coach Keri and I still channel her advice in my playing now”

“Keri has a gift of understanding that in order to create good golfers you have to see the athlete as a whole and that no two golfers are the same. You never feel like she is just checking boxes during lessons to manufacture a good golf swing. She has an unparalleled intuition to know what her players need to hear in all situations. Whether it’s the perfect swing tip or a distraction to clear your head in a tournament, Keri can always find the right words to bring out a players best. I can honestly say I would not have had the success I did as a player at UBC without her as my coach”

“Having diversity in role models is extremely important because it challenges outdated stereotypes about women in leadership”
Additionally, if women are not visible in these positions it can lead to less favourable outcomes for girls and women. Their abilities and self-perceptions can be devalued. Having female coaches challenges stereotypes about gender and leadership and they will offer diverse perspectives, insight and advice to their athletes. This can open up avenues for girls to see themselves in roles such as a tournament player or even a coach.
