Personal Philosophy In Coaching: “Every player deserves my best because my impact with the kids that I work with is not measured in wins, but rather by how hard I work for each player in terms of pushing them, and making sure that they know I have an expectation for them to improve. I’m demanding of all players, because all players deserve to be taken seriously.”
Approach to Youth Sports Development: “Let the kids surprise you with how good they can become. You never know when a young player is going to have a massive growth in development and improvement. Youth sports organizations in ALL sports need to be set up so that they allow kids to grow and develop at their own pace. You will have a far greater impact on player engagment and success if you put your energy into all levels of players rather than focusing only on the 9-10 players who show early development and early success.”
