Today myFM is celebrating local coaches and the impact they’ve had on athletes in Strathroy-Caradoc with our Hooray for Coaches Day feature, presented by Pete’s Sports.
Each coach we spoke with has had their own impact on the community and the residents in it.
One of those coaches is Cathy Pacheco, owner of Dance Factor in Strathroy. She breaks down how she got her start in dance.
Pacheco adds that schooling also played a huge role in her dance career.
And a fun fact from Pacheco as she notes there’s a is a big difference between a dance coach and a teacher in terms of goals.
And she does just that, pointing to the joy she feels when we asked what she gets out of being a coach to kids.

However, it can also lead to some amazing, and heartwarming moments.
As far as the advice she has for future coaches, Pacheco had this to say.
