Laura Cappelli is proof of just how much sports can change your life.
Prior to 2013, Laura wasn’t a fan of sports, public speaking, or being a leader—until she found her home in hockey.
In episode 15 of the her Soul Shot Podcast, Laura Cappelli shares how she discovered hockey and immediately started learning the game so she could not only play, but coach. She went from showing up to attend her first hockey game in ballet flats and a cardigan to trading them in for skates, a whistle, confidence, leadership skills, and a dream of working in the NHL one day.
