2022 NCAA Division II National Champion

Before I met Kumiko, I was struggling a lot with my game. Even though I was practicing twice as much, when the tournaments arrived, I couldn’t perform as I knew I could. During one of the first tournaments in my last spring season, I shot one of my highest scores ever in college.

I was so frustrated with my game, I couldn’t understand what was going on because I was hitting the ball solidly, my swing felt harmonious, but in my mind, I wasn’t at peace.

I was putting a lot of pressure on myself because it was my senior year, and I was worrying too much about not being good enough.
After my highest round, I decided to work more on my mental game, since I felt the swing and golf talent was there and that I could do so much better with guidance.

She didn’t just tell me to think “shot by shot” as everyone says, instead, Kumiko made me analyze what was I thinking before every shot, she helped me to start thinking how I was going to make a birdie in every tee box that I approached.

I not only started to consistently shoot low scores, but I also finish my college career by winning the National Championship, which wouldn’t have been possible if I didn’t meet Kumiko.

I’m very grateful for all that she has taught me, and I’m excited for the continuous improvement of my game with the help of Kumiko.
