Summary

I am a former player of 10+ years who decided I wanted to pour into the youth in our sport. I love working with the kids and seeing them grow in the sport as well as people. I truly believe coaches are not just training athletes but we are shaping young people and teaching them valuable skills off the court as well. I am programmed to want to win and also to do right by my athletes and their families. Family involvement is very important to me and instilling self confidence is one thing I make sure to always do my best at. The relationships I have made though the years with my athletes and their families are all irreplaceable. I have included some words from past and current players parents so you can see how other people view me and the way I have treated their children with grace and kindness always, even through hard situations or coaching decisions.
