Breaking into sports did not come easily for Rachel who focused her early years on academics and school work. During her high school years, however, eleven sports that included swimming, gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, track and field, lacrosse, ultimate Frisbee, and martial arts, filled her days as an athlete, volunteer, and instructor. Field hockey and flag football became her focus where she was top goal scorer, captain, most valuable player, and recruit for All Star teams. In the words of her coach: \u201cSharing, mentoring, helping, and developing positive connections with people are the cornerstones of Rachel\u2019s portfolio.\u201d Not only did her athleticism and leadership garner awards and high praise, she achieved honours standing in her final year.<\/p>\n
