My philosophy involves preparing and educating each individual athlete leads to what I feels is the most important aspect of any training program: enjoying the journey! I feel the successful coaching of athletes is based on excellent communication, consistent training, and attention to detail. I believe in working closely and in cooperation with athletes to define and refine their goals and teach them how to achieve them. My role as a coach involves motivating athletes, preventing injuries due to overtraining and challenging them to reach their goals. I understand the importance of keeping life in perspective through prioritizing family, work, and training. This balance is key to enjoying the journey! Winning trophies and medals is a nice bonus but the real reward to an athlete is this process, the journey. The real reward and success of coaching is helping athletes reach their goals.
