I believe sport is an excellent tool to learn many of life's lessons: Teamwork, Discipline, Perseverance, and Accountability to name just a few. Moreover, independent of skill-level, each player can set goals and achieve them in their own game, which builds a sense of accomplishment and confidence in young people.

I believe my approach to coaching is different than anything I had growing up and I would have had greater success if I knew what I know now. My goal is to make sure my players have all the knowledge so they can create their own growth on the court.
