Why I Created This Site
Coaching is what I am most passionate about! It’s what I am best at and it’s where I can make the most impact on other peoples lives!

Truthfully, I love coaching so much that I wish I could do it full time. In addition to using this site as a means of passing on my knowledge, I’m also hoping it will provide that opportunity. I don’t know yet what that will look like, but I’m going to start with sharing what I know with everyone and hopefully growing a team of athletes and other coaches who want to learn.
