Summary
Playing sports is about being part of something that is greater than yourself. Sport improves your fitness and provides an opportunity for teamwork. I excel in building fun, supportive, successful teams, both on and off the field. I have proven ability to work in a positive way with children, parents, teammates, and coaches using my skills in communication, leadership, and empathy.
