Who We Are?

In 2012, I was voluntold that I needed to Coach my daughter and sons T-Ball team. In 2014, I told my kids soccer Coach that I could assist him if he wanted. Within a few weeks I was the Head Coach. I now have 6 years of soccer coaching under my belt, a year of basketball coaching, and that one year of T-ball coaching. During my time Coaching youth sports it was up to me to figure out how educate myself and my teams. So like most of you, I’d think about what skills our team needed to work on and then hit YouTube to find a few drills that worked that skill or think up a drill that worked that skill. I was only given an agenda once and that agenda fell apart in practice two. 

I also started listening to different podcasts to find out how to be a better all around coach especially because throughout my Coaching experience I was Coaching a sport I never played and both boys and girls. It was important to me to make sure I was Coaching in a way that allowed each player reach their fullest potential, both on and off the pitch, court and diamond. 

I am now part of a basketball program that is looking to build a youth program to support our high school team and to get more girls involved. That prompted me to think about how we could help the Youth Coaches by removing some of the hurdles I had to jump over. The result is this website. Hopefully, you find this website helpful and if not, please let us know how we can do better and what information you are looking for.
