Testimonial:
Morgen Hawkins - Swimming - 2025 Scholarship recipient
The TIS Coaching Scholarship has opened up so many opportunities for me and significantly enhanced my ability to learn, grow, and build my knowledge and skill base.
TIS has helped me build confidence in my coaching, both on and off the pool deck. Even after my scholarship experience has ended, I continue to receive opportunities to learn and grow.
