John Steiger
Teacher/Coach
Wylie,TX
Summary
Drawing upon a distinguished 18-year career in education and athletic leadership, my extensive coaching experience uniquely positions me to excel as Head High School Golf Coach. I have successfully coached both boys' and girls' sports. This experience culminated in serving two years as Girl's Athletic Coordinator, where I honed skills crucial for leading a comprehensive golf program: managing a large student-athlete population, coordinating complex logistics, and optimizing team performance through strategic assignments. This diverse background in both coaching and athletic administration offers a distinct advantage in understanding and addressing the specific needs of diverse student-athlete groups within a combined program. My commitment to student success is further highlighted by being named teacher of the year twice. Additionally, as a former Division One college athlete on a full-ride baseball scholarship to Michigan State University, I bring firsthand knowledge of competing at a high level and the dedication, discipline, and academic balance required to succeed, enabling me to effectively mentor aspiring collegiate golfers.
