Having never coached before (and not knowing most of the rules for basketball), I started coaching my first team. I immediately fell in love with coaching and seeing the determination and joy in students lives as they progressed in sports! I had played football almost my entire life- often playing with an old ratty boxing glove as a ball when we didn’t have an actual football- so coaching football was my logical next step. I love the community, teamwork, sense of family and important life lessons that football provides.”
