Adults, Youth and Teens
In 1997, Ruth Ann
developed and implemented the athletic and recreation program for
New Leaf Academy, a therapeutic boarding school for teenage
girls, here in Central Oregon. Among the activities created was a
Walking and Running Program. Many of the girls had not run at all
prior, and most involved in the program became accomplished runners
and raced in local 5k and 10k races. She also has several years
experience as a middle school Head Track Coach. In addition, she
runs an after-school strength and injury prevention program for
teens, where the students learn proper strength training and
exercise techniques for their age and development. To train teens
and see their progress, determination, and big smiles on their
faces, is Ruth Ann’s passion.
