I am relentless in my pursuit of excellence on and off the court. I believe that training the fundamentals and challenging our athlete’s mental understanding of the game are essential for player development. Intensity, dedication, and passion will be at the core of this program. Athletes will be coached hard, challenged and encouraged to grow through adversity. Coaches and players will work together to ensure a focused and engaging environment where every athlete can thrive. We all play an important role and can be counted on to create a competitive winning culture every day that we step into the gym.
As a coach, I am always ready to lead. This includes staying organized and prepared for all practices, game plans, scouting reports, film sessions, and managing everything else in between. Part of being a great leader is possessing the ability to remain organized and thoroughly prepared while remaining flexible for any UN foreseen variables. It’s providing a clear and proactive communication line with parents, administration, and athletes that are essential for keeping everyone informed and involved.
I believe that recognizing and adapting to individual learning styles is crucial for success. To achieve our program goals, it’s essential that we know how to assess our athletes, understand their motivations, and identify factors that may undermine their confidence. Therefore, I’m committed to building a coaching program where our coaches are skilled at identifying and responding to each athlete’s unique needs. We want our athletes to be better having been a part of our program and understanding how to communicate with them is monumental to our success.
Coaches will aim to develop well-rounded student-athletes by teaching valuable life skills that extend beyond the basketball court. To achieve this, we’ll set the expectation of punctuality and preparedness for both academic and athletic activities. By doing this we can hold our student athletes accountable on campus, in the classroom and on the basketball court.
These standards will be enforced and the athletes who do not meet team standards and expectations will face appropriate disciplinary action.
