Three-time Olympian and team bronze medalist Courtney Hurley OLY has shifted from the strip to the coach’s chair, bringing elite standards and a growth-first culture to Albuquerque. She’s joined by Chris Ferrara, Assistant Head of School at Menaul School, who lays out how a liberal-arts model (mind–body–spirit) and intentional academic support help teens thrive as student-athletes. Together they unpack time management, motivation, the parent’s role, how to structure daily fencing within the school day, and why their Menaul × Duke City Fencing partnership is accelerating progress for newcomers and competitors alike.
