Summary

Dynamic Youth Basketball Coach with Blessed Sacrament Basketball League, skilled in developing foundational player skills and fostering teamwork. Coaching strengths involve being a constant student of the sport. I am always trying to find ways to improve myself, which will improve my players abilities and character on and off the court. Have a great knowledge in basketball of fundamentals and motivational techniques, I successfully enhanced player performance and promoted good sportsmanship, establishing strong relationships with players and parents to ensure a cohesive team environment. Based upon my experience as a basketball, soccer and wrestling coach and a parent of an athlete I find it very important to communicate with the coaches at the higher levels. I will be in constant communication with the JV and Varsity girls coaches to coach/teach what they wish to see from the girls at the next level.
