“GRIT has not only helped shape me as an athlete, it has helped shape me as a person. GRIT has taught me that I can dig a lot deeper than I think in a workout & also in my life. Margaret brings out the best in her athletes, with GRIT’s combined emphasis on fitness and hockey skills. GRIT has changed my life athletically and personally, and I owe where I am today as a college athlete to GRIT and Margaret”

“Approaching sophomore year of my high school career I decided that I wanted to start taking field hockey more seriously, and to do this I was going to train more, play more, and work harder. This was when a few of my friends reached out to me about GRIT. I remembered being so nervous and scared to attend one of trainings due to the “bootcamp” like performance people compared it to. Looking back and having done it for a few years now I’ve never been more grateful to have come across a fitness program like GRIT. The more sessions I attended, the more I finally saw the representation of the program within the name. Margaret’s training program has taught me that GRIT is a personally trait, you either have it or you don’t and that is what separates you from others at the end of the day. GRIT has built me as a person an athletes, having a huge impact on my athletic career, and personality development. Without GRIT, I wouldn’t have even come close to where I am today. GRIT is hands down one of the most inspiring fitness and field hockey programs in Saint Louis.”
