Meet our 2022 Sportsperson of the Year! Patti was nominated by numerous individuals from around the U.S. as well as her own club. THANK YOU Patti for your welcoming, cooperative, respectful and supportive contributions to USMRA!

“Our club, Spirit of Competition, was founded based on the ideals and vision held by Patti of the true spirit of Mondioring. When people think of Patti, they may think of her tireless dedication to helping out on the field, her encouragement of relationship building in the Mondio community and her accomplishments competing with her dog Winston. If you haven’t met Patti, you’ve probably seen her since she’s traveled far and wide to seminars and competitions across the US. If you aren’t sure if you’ve met her, she was the lady on the field at the crack of dawn in the bright socks and a pair of crocs setting up elaborate mondio schemes. Because she is so humble, it’s not always obvious that her deepest values hold fair play and the spirit of the sport far above winning as an individual. Patti has represented the United States with integrity and humility at the world Championships many times. She is the constant learner who is always seeking to grow and to help others succeed across the world of Mondioring.”
