Summary
I believe in positive coaching and positive relationships. I avoid negative language. I will continue to work bettering myself for my players and team. I prefer a business like approach, but I know how to keep the game fun for players. With all that being said, I have high standards, high sense of pride, and demand accountability amongst my group. Enthusiasm, discipline, toughness, and effort will be our keys to success. Above all, I will demonstrate that I care about players as people, students, and athletes.
