“Fortunately, being good friends with Sam led me to become a member of the Laidlow tribe. My initial encounter with them was at a training camp in 2021, where I was deeply impressed by Rich’s commitment to enhancing others’ performance.
Before long, I attended a more formal training camp with them, and it immediately felt like a second home. Michelle graciously provided nourishing meals, while Richard consistently joined us for every training session. Since then, Richard has been my coach and mentor.
Today, I consider myself fortunate to belong to their community and am immensely grateful for their unwavering belief in my abilities from the outset!”
