HUSBAND AND COACH
Her husband Shane Dodd had previously been involved coaching her, but took on the role full-time in 2020. She also said the COVID-19 pandemic had afforded her time to work on her technique while living in South Carolina, United States of America. "I am being coached full-time by my husband Shane Dodd, who had been facilitating me for years but was never my coach per se. He was the one who oversaw my workouts in the off seasons which led to success during the season, so the switch was natural. I have been taking this time [in 2020] to work on some of my weaknesses in my technique and overall I am just happy that I was able to get any competition at all and I am trying to have some fun while I'm at it because it's been a weird season and year [due to COVID-19]."
