At Greenfield Middle School I've not only grown myself as a person, but I've been able to help the students I work with grow for themselves too. I've mainly been a coach in my time at Greenfield but I've also spent some time in the classroom with these students too! Working on building up their social skills, motivation, and increasing their efforts in their classwork. After only being there for a few months I've been able to help students become better at sports which led to undefeated seasons, an increase in passion towards their schoolwork, and have been able to help them expand their social circle.
As an I9 Sports site manager, I overlooked all of the basketball operations that went on in our gym. I would help set the place up in the morning, assist with the scheduling, and help answer any questions or solve any problems that the parents/spectators had. I would also help referee games and if a coach wasn't available that day I'd step in and help coach a team.

In only 2 months of working at Greenfield I was able to be placed with the 6th grade boys/girls team right before the season started and we went on to never get scored on in any regular season game or tournament which resulted in an undefeated season and we placed 4th in our state tournament.
In the season right after, I coached the 6th grade boys basketball team and we also went undefeated and went on to win our tournament.
