Who is the best coach you ever had and why?
My high school coach was my favorite because they did more than just teach the game—they shaped me as a person. They pushed me beyond what I thought I was capable of, held me accountable, and showed me what it meant to work hard with purpose.
They had the perfect balance of discipline and encouragement. They knew when to challenge me and when to build me up. They taught me not just how to win but how to handle losses, setbacks, and pressure with resilience.
Most importantly, their lessons stuck with me long after high school. The mindset, discipline, and values they instilled in me still influence how I approach challenges today—both in sports and in life.
What should athletes and parents know about you?
Development Over Short-Term Wins: I focus on long-term growth rather than just immediate success.
Communication & Transparency: I keep parents informed on progress, areas for improvement, and next steps.
Character & Leadership Growth: I believe in shaping not just great athletes but great individuals who carry these lessons beyond the game.
Injury Prevention & Smart Training: I prioritize safe training methods to keep athletes healthy and performing at their best.
