Coach Sami
Coach Sami is a true Wilmingtonian having made this beautiful coastal town her home since 1969. She grew up with a dance background, but was also extremely active in the sports world playing volleyball, softball and running track for John T. Hoggard High School. She was awarded the prestigious Morehead Cain Scholarship which afforded her so many opportunities both at UNC Chapel Hill and in the real world. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree with Honors in Biology from UNC and went on to receive her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from NC State University. She possesses an interest in canine rehabilitation which translates to knowledge in injury prevention and rehab in her athletes.
Coach Sami is “Yoda” and has a keen sense of understanding the mind of athletes. With an ability for empowerment and self-belief, she is able to guide her athletes to achieve anything they dream. She doesn’t hesitate to collaborate with national coaches and Olympians, as it truly takes a village to build a strong endurance athlete.
key for both
Sami and her
athletes
Sami’s love of coaching is tied to her passion for building relationships. She is dedicated to empowering her athletes to improve their health through physical activity while giving back to this beautiful community. Sami serves as volunteer coordinator for the NHRMC Wrightsville Beach marathon, Ironman 70.3 North Carolina, and multiple 5k events with Go-Time timing company. One of her fondest memories is having the pleasure of bringing in the last finishers of the marathon for the past ten years. That is where her true spirit comes out. She has produced and directed multiple learning camps and educational opportunities with Michellie Jones, Sheila Taormina and Matt Dixon. Sami shares her life with her 6 dogs (Tommie, Danni, Holly, Moose, Daisy and Fiona) and her most awesome bike mechanic, cook and technical advisor extraordinaire.
