Coach Beckie is truly one of the best.

She is dynamic, engaged, and delightfully enthusiastic.
Her critiques are always constructive and helpful, never demeaning or disrespectful.
But most importantly, she helps you understand the nuances and
how to discover the best options to overcome the obstacles and find your own path to success.

We love learning with Coach Beckie!

She provides multiple strategies for every aspect of the game and tailors her recommendations to fit our individual needs and styles. Rather than focusing on a single 'right way,' Coach Beckie encourages us to explore various approaches to achieve our goals. We especially appreciate her positive, upbeat language and the fun phrases she uses that make key points easy to remember. Each lesson builds on the last, helping us make rapid progress. And did we mention how much fun she is?
Coach Beckie's energy and enthusiasm are truly contagious!

She’s My Pickleball Sensei!

I came to Coach Beckie wanting to improve my physical skills and techniques. We started there, but before long she was making a positive impact on other important aspects, such as mental preparation and in-game strategy. Thanks to her, I have a much stronger all-around game. Her lessons leave me energized and inspired and eager to get back to the court for my next match.

This is a great way to learn!

The four of us took group lessons from Beckie and we all agreed she definitely upped our play! She was very straightforward in her approach to teaching basic pickleball techniques and personalized her assessment of each of us with a focus on positive feedback. Beckie is high energy, no nonsense and loads of fun. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience - so much so that we are signing up for another set of lessons!

Learned how to create the plan that was right for me!

I used to be an avid runner, but work and family commitments started to encroach on my running time and I ended up stopping altogether. Though I greatly missed running and always intended to start again, after 10 years,
I really wasn't sure I could. I'd aged a few years and gained some weight.
Coach Beckie introduced me to the five building blocks of the Build UR Best U program
and how I could create the plan that was right for me.
With her knowledge, support and encouragement, I learned exactly what I needed to do to reach and keep my goal.
And best of all, now that I've reached my weight and fitness goal, I've the energy to keep up with my kids!

This has built a foundation to stand upon for a lifetime.

During one of our 1:1 sessions, I said,
“You just helped me realize, it literally isn’t that hard!"
The Building Blocks Blueprint program is like building a foundation to stand upon for a lifetime. Coach Beckie is a digger of information, an encourager at all times, and a Builder helping to create more Builders like me.
She has helped me learn, REALLY learn, the steps to take for reaching a goal.
I’m excited to continue using all that I’ve learned as I continue on my journey!

So now I am on my way!

Turn your fitness and health around today by signing-up for health coaching sessions with Coach Beckie. I did and now have a plan that works for me. I needed to lose 14lbs. after the winter, when I was not eating too healthy and not working out much. Coach Beckie helped me get clear on what needed to change and how to adjust not just my diet but my workout routine as well. She helped me understand the need to do a variety of exercises, and to push myself to do more than I would otherwise. So now I am on my way, and already lost 7 lbs. in 7 weeks.
Coach Beckie is all about the results and helping you to have the fitness and health plan that works for each person!
Thank you, Coach Beckie!

What I'm Learning from Build UR Best U

I ran the 2018 Chicago Marathon but I’ve since let my fitness and diet slip. Coach Beckie taught me all sorts of ways to get back on-track. Did you know that using a smaller plate helps you eat less? Not only that, it helps you feel fuller!
Just one of the tools to get me back into marathon shape!

 This training changed my game plan a lot.

Swimming and other activities were not fully cutting it for my fitness/health goals as the birthdays piled up.
Coach Beckie got me back on-track with a plan that's working!

Coach Beckie, it's always a pleasure to have you present to us at the AT&T PM Network Expert Lecture Series.
The information you shared was very valuable in your recent

I look forward to having you present to us again!

A Fresh Start Success Project

- This workshop helped me to create steps to reach my goals and (identified)
what I need to work on.
- Very motivational to go out and be what I want to be and
get what I want once I am released.
- Step-by-step (guidance) in helping me to
reach my career goals.
- Organized - Hard Work - Goals! That I still have hope.
- It helped me get ready to step back into society.

- "The attendees were very engaged in this workshop and gave great feedback regarding the instructor.
They thought she was very informative, explained herself clearly, and was able to help them navigate through their S.M.A.R.T.-E.R. Goals. When asked if they'd like a follow-up workshop with her, all were interested in participating with feeling they'd get a lot out of seeing her again. They responded well to the instructor, participated and interacted.
She had a good rapport with them. I believe they would greatly benefit from a follow-up workshop."

Being a student in Mrs. G's class was literally life changing. She is such a fun teacher.
She breaks everything down in the simplist form so that everyone comprehends.
She provided us with public speaking tools that I'll never let leave my toolbox. 

I'll always be thankful for the confidence she helped us build!
She taught us that we do better working as a team.
Mrs. G works hard to make sure that no one is left behind and always encouraged us.

This speech communication class with Mrs. G has so far been my favorite class at SAE.
I'm going to miss her.

Any student who is blessed to have her as an instructor is in for a great treat!
She also has some good dance moves and a great sense of humor! 
We love you Mrs. G!
