What Coaching means to me.
It’s not about championships or dominating your competitor. As a coach your sport is just a vehicle, It’s about the life lesson you get to teach and be taught. I can truly say I have learned as much from my athletes as they have from me. It’s about life happening and you being there for your athletes and them being there for you! The best feeling as a coach is when your athletes earn more accomplishments than you ever have! To make a difference in a young person’s life, there is no better feeling. Nothing gives me more satisfaction!
