I have always been passionate about sports and mentoring young athletes. As a high school student, I had a coach who made a significant impact on my life and I knew that I wanted to do the same for others. Being a high school coach allows me to combine my love of sports and my desire to make a positive impact on the lives of students.

I start by setting clear goals for the team and creating a plan to achieve them. I also establish a strong team culture and work with my athletes to develop their skills and teamwork. Communication is key throughout the season, I maintain open lines of communication with my athletes, their parents and the school administration to ensure everyone is on the same page. I also make sure to adjust my plan as needed based on the team's progress and any obstacles we may face.

I believe it is important to create an inclusive and respectful team culture where every athlete feels valued and respected. I also make sure to communicate with my athletes and get to know them as individuals so that I can better understand and meet their needs. I also make sure to provide equal opportunities for all athletes to participate and contribute to the team.

I believe in addressing conflicts as soon as they arise and in a private setting. I listen to both sides of the story, and then work with the athletes involved to find a resolution that is fair and respects the needs of everyone involved. I also make sure to follow up with the athletes to ensure the conflict is truly resolved and there are no lingering issues.

I believe that setting clear goals and providing regular feedback is key to keeping athletes motivated. I also make sure to keep practices interesting and challenging, and to recognize and celebrate the team's successes. I also encourage athletes to set their own personal goals and work with them to achieve them.

I believe it's important to keep perspective and remember that the goal of high school sports is to teach life lessons and help students grow as individuals. I make sure to focus on the progress the team has made and use the experience as a learning opportunity. I also make sure to recognize the athletes' efforts and the positive aspects of the season.
