COACHING PHILOSOPHY

• Confident Humility… being confident enough to win, but humble enough to know you can always lose. 
• Lead by example and be a role model and mentor… especially with younger people. You never know who may be watching.
• Be passionate, kind, and forgiving about everything you do… like God and his son Jesus Christ.

• Priorities

1. Family, Faith & Health
2. Education
3. Volleyball
4. Everything else

• "Every great athlete will never reach their full potential, knowing that is what makes them great."
