Kansas City Pink Warriors Clinic 🌸 - June 2025
What an incredible weekend with the KC Pink Warriors in Kansas City! These amazing women have built something truly special since founding their team in 2019 - now over 50 strong and growing every year.
Mother Nature decided to test our dedication with a thunderstorm that dumped 2 inches of rain in just one hour! But did that stop these warriors? Not a chance. We waited it out, and as soon as the skies cleared, we were back on the water with even more determination. That's the spirit that has carried this team to victory at festivals across the country! 🌩️⚡
I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with such resilient paddlers. Many of these incredible women have faced the ultimate test - cancer - and are either currently in treatment or celebrating being clear. Their strength, courage, and commitment to living life to the fullest is absolutely inspiring. Being on the water with them reminded me why dragon boat is so much more than just a sport.
We focused on technique fundamentals, power development, and race strategy as they prepare for their second annual Kansas City Dragon Boat Festival in September. The energy and enthusiasm despite the weather challenges was phenomenal! We covered grabbing the drink, in & out, subway sandwiches, high five, ice skating, exit push, putting away your wallet, and lots of race starts and mock races!
As team president Linda Miller says, "Being out on the water together is a special feeling — it's where we really tap into our own strength." I witnessed that strength firsthand this weekend.
Thank you, KC Pink Warriors, for your hospitality, your heart, and for showing me what true warrior spirit looks like. Keep inspiring, restoring, and empowering! 🌸
