“That’s also something that’s big in my coaching—learning to reward the effort and not necessarily the outcomes” —Susahnn Valente-Olsen 

Susahnn Valente-Olsen (IG: @thejumproper) is a multi-decade jump roper with  a wide breadth of knowledge. Not only is she well-versed in the world of competitive jump rope, but she also has a Master’s degree in Nonprofit Management. She has spent quite a few years in the nonprofit world, doing fundraising, administration, program development and organizational culture. A large portion of this nonprofit work was spent with Playworks, a national nonprofit the believes in the power of play to bring out the best in every kid. Her program provided safe and healthy play to students ranging from 5-15 years old. So when it comes to nonprofit work and coaching, Susahnn has a lot of experience to draw from.
