Coach Dianne Christophe
Sport(s): Track
What do you like best about coaching and or playing sports?
I enjoy seeing the strategies focused on in training, put to use in competition.
What sport do you coach or play and what made you decide to do this sport?
I'm an assistant track coach. My son is an athlete, I got involved in the coaching side at the suggestion of our head coach Ken Thom.
Who are your role models and why?
I don't have a role model per say: I've been blessed with many people in my life who I admire and try to glean nuggets them. Some that come to mind are my grand mother, my mom Glenna, Mom Pat. If I gain half the wisdom and strength that these women have I would be happy.
What are your goals for the future?
Complete the training to become a certified coach. I would also like to be able to travel the world.
What else do you like to do in your spare time?
What's that? My spare time away away from watching my children practice or compete, is spent reading, watching abit of tv, surfing the internet or sleeping.
What advice would you have for someone just starting in the sport that you coach?
It may seem difficult at first, stick with it, have fun, and you'll find the drills you'll get better, and you'll enjoy it more if you are having fun.
What is your favorite saying?
Life's not fair, get used to it!
What are your hobbies and interests besides sports?
Reading, craft - sewing (although I don't have as much time for it as I would like to).
