During my time as a lifeguard I was also a swim coach at the country club I was employed in. I was tasked with teaching young kids the basics of swimming and how to compete in a swim race. Being a swimmer myself and being Capitan of my team Junior and Senior year I felt I was up to the task as swim coach. When I am passionate about something I want to teach other people how to do what I love. I also would teach private swim lessons for the members of the pool with one on one sessions. In the time I had I was able to teach a young kid how to swim with out a floatation device and how to swim in the deep end of the pool. I have also played lacrosse since before Kindergarten and was recruited by Division 2 and 3 schools during the summer of 2022. Lacrosse has always been a big part of my life as I have made friends that I consider brothers even after 12 years of playing together. Similar to swim I would help the younger kids in my town develop their lacrosse IQ and skills by helping with Skills and Drills that my Dad would set up. My Dad and I would help sort out new equipment to pass out to the young kids who were in need of gear. I would greet the kids and their parents at the door and help them with anything they needed for their kid to play lacrosse.
