An inspirational and content-rich keynote speaker, Veronica draws directly from her thirty years of experience as a golf professional, touring pro, educator, spiritual mentor, and performance expert to share champion mindsets that must be applied in order for peak performance to be achieved.
 
With an emphasis on performance, leadership, personal empowerment, and relationships, Veronica offers practical applications and analogies from the game of golf that are easily understood and implemented.  Her communication style leads from lighthearted wit to personal challenge to deep connection as she inspires people to win from within, equipping them to chart out their own championship for high performance, leadership and team achievement.
 
Veronica's story begins at the age of five when her father placed a putter in her hand.  She played on the boys' team in high school where she graduated as the first female athlete in her school to win an athletic scholarship to college.  Veronica won numerous college tournaments at Duke University, where she enjoyed a stellar amateur career as a regional All-American.  Her professional golf career highlight was playing in the 1989 Women's U.S. Open after winning the qualifying tournament.  She has taught thousands of people to play the game of golf since beginning her teaching career in 1981.
 
Veronica has a B.A. Degree in Management Science from Duke University and two Masters Degrees from Regent University in Communication and Biblical Studies.  She graduated Regent University as the Most Outstanding Student in her graduating class as Beasley Scholar with a 4.0 GPA through her two Masters Degrees.  Veronica is also a certified life coach and the author of three books, a featured writer on the blog GolfShadow.com, and a frequent golf columnist for The Pilot newspaper in Pinehurst.

Veronica is the founder and head coach of True Champions Coaching, a whole-person coaching practice dedicated to inspiring, equipping, and releasing the true identity of a champion in others to reach peak performance with joy on the course, in the classroom, on the job, and in life.

 
Individuals, families, and organizations have benefited from Veronica's academic and peak performance expertise to better understand how to unlock potential in their players and teams, increase performance, enhance relationships, and enact real change.  Veronica's enthusiasm from the speaking platform is contagious as she fulfills her mission to release the champion within!
