Coaching Philosophy
My coaching philosophy is one that creates an environment that encourages athletes to learn and develop on and off the playing field. I believe that playing sports helps athletes build character and confidence. It also prepares them for life, teaching them about working as a team or as a team player, not as an individual.
Motto
“Recognize that every interaction you have is an opportunity to make a positive impact on others” – Shep Hyken.
