Derick Law
Football coach
Reston,VA
Summary
Coach, I am extremely interested in the opportunity to become a part of the program that has been built. There are three types of people in a program: First, a challenge, someone who requires a constant nudge to get that player to buy into the program’s culture. Second, a contributor, someone who contributes to the program and increases its value. Finally, a champion, someone who not only contributes to the program but also changes those around the program and sets precedents for future members of the program. To be a champion is the goal. Results-driven Coach dedicated to building focused, high-achieving teams through goal-oriented training and mentorship. Skilled at recruiting reliable staff and assistants for unified team culture and purpose-driven squad support. Proponent of detailed finance and resource management to maintain positive perception of program and expand competitive opportunities.
