Summary
Experienced team captain with a strong background in leadership, team building, and fostering trust among teammates. Passionate about sports performance, skill development, and helping individuals maximize their athletic potential while minimizing the risk of injuries. Influenced by coaching experiences, dedicated to bringing the same level of commitment to the athletes worked with. Firm believer that hard work surpasses talent and deeply passionate about instilling this mindset in athletes, as even the most talented players can only reach a certain level without the right work ethic. I emphasize the importance of stepping out of one's comfort zone in the growth process, striving to push individuals beyond their limits to facilitate true development.

Coaching Philosophy
My coaching philosophy is centered around hard work, discipline, and pushing athletes to exceed their limits. I believe that effort and determination are more important than raw talent. Every athlete can improve with the right mindset and approach. My goal is to create an environment where athletes can develop both physically and mentally, learning the value of being uncomfortable as they grow. By building trust, instilling discipline, and emphasizing the importance of the process, I aim to guide athletes to achieve their highest potential on and off the court.
