McKensey Middleton, Miss Rodeo California 2023
I cannot recommend the ARISE coaching program enough!! I worked with Lisa in preparation for running for state and national-level rodeo queen titles on and off since 2018. The ARISE program is broken up into different manageable levels so on some months when I was looking for a lighter load, I was able to do that, and the months I wanted to gear things up, it worked great as well. The coaching itself was exactly what I was looking for. I struggled with my confidence so I wanted a coaching style that would build me up but also still have that honesty coaches need to have. Lisa always seemed to do that. Lisa is also deeply involved within the rodeo world in multiple facets, former Miss Rodeo America and a current contestant, to name a few. This makes her an incredible source of knowledge for the many sides of rodeo. I believe that in our study sessions, I was able to find a better understanding of the sport and then an elegant way to communicate it to the general public with Lisa’s guidance. She has a great eye for the fine details and the overall picture of everything that goes into pageant preparation. There is not a component of being a rodeo queen she is not an expert in. If all of these things are not enough to make you want to work with her, then maybe the fact that she is one of the most kind, genuine, welcoming, and uplifting people I have ever met definitely should! If you are pursuing a rodeo queen title because you love the sport and you want to become a better version of yourself, then look no further for the best coach ever!
