🔥 Reclaiming Power, Purpose, and Presence—One Step at a Time

In a world full of noise, distraction, and pressure, teens are losing connection to who they are.

“Put Your Foot Down” is a high-impact, heart-centered talk designed to wake students up to their own power—to help them reclaim agency over their choices, their energy, and their identity.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a movement-based, story-rich, deeply personal experience where I meet students where they are, speak their language, and guide them through an unforgettable journey of self-awareness, emotional grounding, and confidence.


🎯 Who This Is For:

  • High school students (all populations or student-athletes)
  • Athletic departments, leadership programs, or student groups
  • Teens navigating identity, pressure, or disconnection

đź’Ą What Students Will Walk Away With:

  • A deeper sense of who they are and what they stand for
  • Tools for handling pressure, self-doubt, and comparison
  • An invitation to own their story—without shame or apology
  • A powerful experience of movement, presence, and emotional expression
  • A message that it’s okay to be different, to feel deeply, and still stand tall

🧠 Why This Talk Lands

As a former Olympic sprinter, national champion, and Pan American Games medalist, I’ve lived the athlete dream. But I’ve also lived the burnout, the identity crisis, and the quiet internal battles that most teens never get a chance to name—let alone process.

“Put Your Foot Down” was born from my own journey of learning how to step into my truth, beyond the medals, titles, or expectations. Now I pass that message on, helping students remember their worth before the world defines it for them.

With over 20 years of experience mentoring teens, coaching athletes, and speaking across diverse communities, I bring presence, passion, and realness that resonates in every room.
