I have been coaching for about 7 years now on both the high school and college club levels. Our lovely club organization founders coached me throughout high school and helped me get to play at the collegiate level. I enjoy coaching because I love experiencing those little moments when everything clicks for a player and/or team! Getting to see players thrive in a sport you’re passionate about is otherworldly.
