May 2026 - Nichole Fitzpatrick Barrel clinic
Every sport needs role models - the people who inspire you to be better, work harder and keep striving for more. They’re the people you turn to for advice and honest feedback.
I absolutely love learning and I always come away inspired after spending a weekend with one of my favourite mentors - Nichole. Being around people who are at the top of their game and passionate about improving themselves reminds me that there is always something new to learn and another level to strive for.
I’ve always believed that if you want to improve, surround yourself with people who are constantly trying to improve themselves. People who are willing to learn and grow and never settle for “good enough.”
Just as importantly also be careful who you choose to follow. The best mentors aren’t the ones who are content being the biggest fish in a small pond!! They’re the ones who continue to challenge themselves, seek out knowledge, step outside their comfort zone and remain humble enough to know they don’t have all the answers.
Growth comes from being around people who inspire you to raise your standards, not people who are comfortable standing still. Find those who are still learning, still evolving and still chasing excellence because their mindset has a way of rubbing off on everyone around them.
Never stop being a student. The moment you think you know it all is the moment you stop growing. 🩷
