Philosophy

One thing, all living things have in common is a natural tendency to grow and thrive. Carl Rodger’s A Way of Being set me on an irreversible quest to maximize my potential and to help others do the same. Teaching and coaching are the vehicles I use in pursuit of this life long goal.

My coaching style combines a player-centered approach with research-based teaching techniques to improve the WHOLE player. Whole players are not just good technically and have understanding tactically but are also good decision makers, creative problem solvers, and they are emotionally stable. Through life long learning and self-reflection my pedagogy is always evolving. Gamification and Applied Behavior Analysis in sport are two of my current interests.

I hope to help players maximize their potential and chase their dreams.
