    Julian

    2023 IL State Champion 800

     

    Julian came to Beacon Academy (IL) in Sept 2019 having never participated in sports. By sophomore year, he took 5th in the 400 at the IL CLass A State Track meet. As a junior in 2022, he took 2nd in the 800 which ended up being the 8th fastest time in the entire state regardless of school size. He will be attending NYU for college and will run competitively there.

    Morgan

    11th at IL State in 4x800 Relay

    2022-23 HS Sr - 1:25 PR in XC, 16 sec PR in 1600, 10 sec PR in 800

    Morgan and her mom approached me about running training and mental skills training in May of 2021. After figuring out that she was iron deficient, Morgan started the process of fixing that through supplementation, and enduring the struggles of running while not having adequate iron stores during that cross country season of 2021. It began to pay off in improved track performances in Spring of 2022 and a 1 min, 19 sec PR in the 3.0 mile cross country race in Fall of 2022.

    Holly

    MD/PhD Researcher in Nephrology

    Holly chose to have a family and focus on her husband and two daughters as they grew up through grade school. She felt like she had neglected her research work as a nephrologist (kidney doctor). She approached me in Jan 2021 about working on her self-talk messages regarding how she viewed herself as a medical researcher. After she identified that she was indeed a talented researcher with ideas that could help millions of patients with kidney disease, Holly embarked on a 2 year period of writing 4 grants and 10 manuscripts in her field.
