Mads favorite ELITEAM activity is the hike because it’s an adventure that requires teamwork, you get to complete challenges along the way and the reward of beautiful Vermont views at the end. Her favorite ELITEAM memories as a counselor is cheering on campers in the obstacle course, encouraging the campers and watching them accomplish challenges they didn’t know they were capable of achieving.
Mads attends Middlebury College where she participates in Ski Patrol, club lacrosse, crossfit and enjoys running in the Vermont countryside. Her advice to young athletes in their athletic pursuit is that competitions/races/games are important but the training is where you become the athlete you are which includes valuing the off season so that you can make the most of your season when the time comes. Sports have taught her perseverance through tough times and conditions, building grit only makes you stronger mentally and physically. Her current athletic goal is to beat her PR half marathon time by the end of the summer and her motto is gratitude. When she feels the stress of an upcoming event she is grateful for her successes, failures, hardwork and support system that have led her to where she is now.
