I am a coach that drives off winning but more so is geared to training and developing quality athletes on and off the court. I truly believe that high school athletes should be students first and athletes second. As a coach I believe in being an example of good sportsmanship on and off the court, definitely representing Bolivar Central professionally at all times.
