Heidi Marshall

I grew up playing sports, finding immense joy in breaking through gender barriers and stereotypes by being one of the only girls on the field or in the weight room. I consider myself lucky to have developed right along with the progression of women and young girls in sports and took full advantage of having access to a variety of sports teams from elementary school through college.

 

After college, I was once again at the forefront of athletic growth and development, finding myself one of the only women in the state of Minnesota who had played and understood the game of lacrosse. This allowed me to be a pioneer in the sport in this state. I started multiple high school teams and played on and co-developed the first-ever post-collegiate women's lacrosse league in the state. I was the head coach at both Hopkins High School and Hamline University until 2010 when my son was born. Although I've stepped away from coaching to focus on my career and raising my children, I keep in touch with my love for it by serving as a sub coach here at Mi5 Fitness.

 

My non-fitness professional life includes a 20+ year career in higher education as a professor and department director. I am also a learning, development, and training consultant, and focus on feminizing leadership across industries. ​
