… Mindy’s vibrant leadership continues to help, heal and inspire. Whether they are friends from her past or family and loved ones on her busiest days, she is ready and willing to lead them with the tools she has learned from her long ago competitive sports days and her endless hours of time given of her own body to a discipline of time dug in the trenches that taught her courage and gave wind to her depth of optimism. She is loyal to her passion of the game. A passion that has taught her how to love life. Sports teaches that. Mindy figured that out. She taught that to all of us.
