Summary
As an assistant coach for the upcoming season 2026 Hackettstown High School Football Team and possible Teacher’s Aid I will give 110% as a motivator/mentor for all the student athletes and if I had the opportunity to do this on a daily basis I can do more. I emphasize the student athletes strength but breakdown where they need to improve from the classroom to the sports field. Student Athletes respect me because I’m all in and will give the school program everything I have. I like to prepare before the upcoming school year so if you hire me I will continue to prepare so I can be an asset to Hackettstown High School as a Teacher and coach.
