Before Coach Mo was a golf professional and host of the "Coach Mo Golf Show," she was a survivor. In the spring of 2012, Gesualdi received a life-saving liver transplant and a survived a highly lethal fungal infection in her brain called Invasive Aspergillus.

Mo's story before life as a golf professional is one you wouldn't imagine, and she's here today to sit down with her Aunt Caryn, her medical health proxy and "life-savior" to share their story together.   

In 2012, at age 26, Mo's liver was in acute liver failure and in need of a transplant and fast. During a liver biopsy, her liver was “nicked” causing unnoticed internal bleeding taking an already unfavorable situation, and turning months before needing into a desperate few hours.

A CODE BLUE was called when Mo collapsed one evening and the doctors fought to stabilize her while she lost her pulse four times in a matter of a few hours. The internal bleeding expedited Mo's need for a liver transplant, and doctors told her family there was only a 24-48 hour window for a live-saving transplant. Time was completely against her, but before the end of the day, her medical team got word there was a possible match and started to prep her for a transplant. Early the next morning, May 3, 2012, Mo was the recipient of a miraculous, life-saving liver transplant.

While the transplant was a great success, the worst was actually yet to come.  Within a few days of her transplant, her brain began swelling. Mo had extreme headaches and was seeing flashing colored lights, and hearing voices. After an MRI, Mo's medical team discovered that she had contracted a lethal fungal infection in her brain, caused in part to the immunosuppression required after an organ transplant.  The only option for survival was a very risky brain operation. 

Hear Coach Mo and her Aunt Caryn share their stories and experiences before, during, and after her time spent in the hospital surrounding their battle to save Monique's life.

Dawn returns to "The Coach Mo Golf Show" to take a deep dive into the Judgment Index and how players can utilize the assessment combined with her coaching to better understand and optimize the human within them. The better you understand the "why" of what you do and who you are, as well as those around you, you can create strategies to improve your preparation, your communication, and your decisions to help you improve both on and off the course.

Dawn Woodard, Furman Women's Golf Alum, and expert Performance Consultant of, “Judgment Matters”  utilizes the Judgment Index assessment to help some of the top ACC, SEC, small powerhouse colleges as well as several professional athletes, including the former #1 Junior in the world, Mina Harigae, better understand themselves, their tendencies, and how their thinking ultimately affects their behavior and performance on and off the golf course.  Dawn works with athletes, parents, business professionals to maximize a player’s decision-making and performance. Athletes and professionals are able to learn the WHY behind why they make the decision they do, gain perspective on how the athlete views themselves, and the what, who, why influences their decision making, and how they see the world. Once Dawn is able to identify how this help/hinders a player’s performance, she can then create an affective and highly personalized performance strategy for the player, coach, and entire family to improve their performance.

Dawn is a phenomenal athlete herself, a Furman Women’s Golf Alum, 8x SC Women’s Am Champion, & 3x Carolinas Player of the Year.  Dawn has competed in 39 USGA events, including 18 consecutive USGA Mid Ams, 3x USGA Mid-Am Medalist, 3x USGA Mid-Am Quarterfinalist.
