The Confidence Coalition was something I wasn’t aware of prior to joining Kappa Delta. Throughout my past two years in Kappa Delta and one semester of Girls on the Run, I’ve become really passionate about empowering girls to reach their full potential. As I reflected on what ties me to this I realized that it really started because of my triathlon coach in high school.
I was involved in a plethora of sports growing up, and I’ve written a lot about my triathlon experience in the past. I spent a large amount of my summers in high school on a bicycle all across the O’Fallon/Lake St. Louis/Wentzville area. Without the High School Triathlon Club I definitely wouldn’t have continued fitness in college, I wouldn’t have realized why fitness was important.
I don’t care about my body solely for the aesthetic reasons, I care about eating a balanced-ish diet (I’m not perfect) and working out because it makes me feel good. When I feel good about myself, I’m so much more confident in myself. When I am confident in myself, I am able to better serve other girls who are trying to find that confidence in themselves.

Going through recruitment can be such a hectic time-- move-in just happened, you’re getting adjusted to living on a college campus, and you’re starting life over. I am so grateful that I had the High School Triathlon Club in my life to lay the foundation for fitness, health, and confidence. I am also so grateful that Kappa Delta saw that confidence in me 2 years ago when I went through recruitment. The Confidence Coalition is so important and
I’m so happy I am able to be a part of something that gives girls the ability to embrace who they are and believe in themselves.

I have a connection to triathlons and half marathons, I hope that I am able to use athletics to continue to empower girls to challenge themselves and do what they think is impossible.
I have never been so confident in myself as I have been recently and I truly wouldn’t be at this point in my life without the HSTri Club and Kappa Delta. If you have any questions about fitness or joining Greek Life (or why I'd recommend Greek Life) please let me know! I'd love to talk about it!
