Congratulations Hannah!
Over the next couple of weeks we'll be introducing you to the newest members of the USATKD Athlete Academy! We already spotlighted Melvy, so tonight we ask you to join us in welcoming Hannah Keck to the Resident Athlete Program - Hannah is in the process of moving to Colorado Springs and will be training and traveling full time with the other Academy Residents, after already spending a few weeks with the squad to acclimate. Welcome from us all Hannah - we can't wait to work with you full time and see how you progress! We know you'll smash it!
We asked Hannah if she had a few words for the USATKD Facebook Family, and being a member of the debate team, we already knew she was smart as well as tough! Here's what she had to say:
"I have had the opportunity to train and compete at the National Center of Excellence several times now, and I continue to be uplifted by the atmosphere created there. I’m thrilled to have the chance to join the resident athlete program to take my training to the next level and I’m grateful to the USATKD leadership for believing in me.
I’d like to thank everyone who has walked with me along the way - the poomsae Masters at White Tiger, Master Lee at Chang Lee’s, Ramón Williams at MJP, Coach Stacey Herman, and especially Coach Laurin and Master Cabrera at L3 Performance – for their crucial support and encouragement in my development as an athlete. I look forward to training with Coach Gareth and Coach Paul and continuing to improve and represent the United States well."
