Summary
Passionate leader with the background and experience to coach all levels of athletes. I've been coaching age-group and high school athletes for 30 years. Believes in teaching the foundations of being an elite athlete and that it's vital to make sure those fundamental traits are being implemented in day to day life. Strives to be more than just a coach who just writes workouts and gives instructions. I think it's important to be a mentor, friend and a role model my athletes can look up to.
