Theresa Sherry | 2023 Coach of the Year
Theresa Sherry
Founder and CEO of LIT for Women, The Tenacity Project, Sherry Sports LLC, Tenacity 10 Camps, and the BearLax Club Team
“Sports have been a crucial part of my physical, mental and emotional growth for as long as I can remember. Coaching, mentoring, and facilitating experiences is the best way I can think of to pass on some of the life lessons I have learned. I truly believe that though we cannot prevent adversity in kids’ lives, we can help them build tools to navigate anything that comes their way.”
