Coaching Philosophy
I think it is important for me to express my philosophy to you and help you understand where I developed it from. I knew I wanted to be a coach since I was in 6th grade; I grew up watching my mother impact lives as a coach. She loved each and every student/athlete she came in contact with and did everything she could to make sure her students were successful. After seeing this year after year I developed the same passion as her.
I have been involved in sports my whole life and I can count on three fingers how many coaches have truly inspired me to want to become a better athlete and person. My goal in life and as a coach is to do that for my student athletes. My personal tagline is my daily reminder to myself to be the change, to be the change in someone’s life for the better. Push them, motivate them, to a go farther than they have ever gone before. Bring something out in them that they have never seen or experienced. Show them a special part of themselves they never knew they had. Under my time with them I want them to discover something they never thought they could do. I want to inspire my student athletes every day and I want to provide them with the tools they need in life to not only be a successful athlete but a successful person as well.
Athletes spend more time with their coaches than with anyone else besides their family. That means as a coach it is my duty to provide opportunities for my athletes to grow as an athlete and as a person. I want to make sure that when an athlete leaves my program they were not only taught how to be successful in the ring and classroom but to also be confident when it is time to go out into the real world. There are five main principles my athletes should take away from my program and that is discipline, respect, intensity, integrity, and passion.
