Brooke was passionate about bringing parents and coaches back to reality for what sports are about, “the skills athletes learn and what they learn about themselves as they play is most important”. I had to share this story as it shows what this coach cares about most. The athlete, not the finish line.

At the World Championships in Budapest, USA’s swimmer Anita Alvarez sank to the bottom of the pool unconscious. This is a shallow water blackout. It happens often in Special Operations Training.

Her COACH Andrea Fuentes looking across the deck, noticed her swimmer was under for way too long, immediately dove into the drink after her, fully dressed, and pulled her to safety.

This is what a real coach looks like.

There were lifeguards at the side of the pool but only her coach dove in. Some coaches don’t do it for money or recognition. They do it for the love of sport and the love of their athlete.

A quick memory from the Turkey Trot ‘20 Home Edition to share. The kids were off and running as usual. Brooke being a little less than 2 month post debulking surgery and into her chemo regimen did not stop her from moving her feet during a special fall day.
