Philosphy:
My coaching centers around one idea: positive leadership. My message to young athletes is to hold them to a high standard in school, football, and life through using their leadership abilities to positively influence others.
I view coaching as teaching, and became a football coach in order to have the ability to impact lives and be a positive role model for youths. Various coaches inspired my philosophy, but one concept encompassed all: football is the platform, but you can use the lessons it teaches and its direct reflection of everyday life to create long term success.
As a teacher and coach, I see the potential in my students & athletes. My goal is for you to reach your maximum potential and exceed your own personal expectations because you worked hard, trusted the process, and became a great teammate by believing in something bigger than yourself.
