Philosophy:

Coaching is one way for me to give back to my community. It allows me to promote a healthy lifestyle amongst youth and encourage players to develop self-discipline and resilience in a competitive but safe environment. In addition to technique and skill development, I apply sports psychology to optimize performance, mental strength and the well-being of our athletes. My coaching values are based on three pillars: respect, commitment and safety
