  • I enjoy assisting her and her teammates develop their ability's to communicate with each other during stressful situations.
  • Watching them learn to be dependent on themselves to accomplish their goals in the sport, but know when to ask for help if unsure of their ability's.
  • Teaching the girls leadership through example.
  • Helping the girls grow with each other through teamwork.
