I am both a teacher and a coach. That is important because you need to understand the "why" behind the coaching. Why is this skill important? Why are we doing this particular drill? Additionally, I bring experience and as a division II scholarship athlete, who earned those achievements by hard work, commitment and sacrifice over talent alone. I also believe as a coach, I have a giant responsibility as a role model both on and off the court or field. Integrity, sportsmanship and great character as important as athletic ability.
