Coaching Philosophy
|
The idea of the word team is a unity of players that have a common goal in which the team wants to achieve. The cornerstone of a team’s success is to have fun. However, the term ‘fun’ is subjective; for me, ‘fun’ is to have students excel on and off the field of play. Success comes with hard work, determination, endurance, and perseverance. My goal is to help the athletes I coach in achieving their goals. I coach to win; however, the health and well being of the athletes is my utmost concern. The sport dictates how physically demanding the practices have to be; the team will never do a drill in practice that I will not be implemented into competition. The practices the team will work hard, the matches the team gets to show off their hard work. Respect is a critical component of athletics. Respect your school, your team, the sport, your opponents, and your coaches/officials. Finally, I have an open-door policy, and if an athlete needs to talk to me about any issue, I will be there to lend an ear or proper guidance.

Coaching Style
|
The guarantee that I can give is that I will provide all I can to help the student-athletes achieve their goals. I genuinely believe in an open-door policy and hope to be able to help athletes any way I can as a coach. I have a democratic approach to coaching: (1) the coach outlines the training requirements to the athletes; (2) The coach invites ideas/suggestions from the athletes; & (3) the coach makes the decision based on the athletes' opinions. The coach defines what to do and how to do it. The practices will show a problem, and the athletes will be given the tools and guidance on how to solve the problem. I believe that hard work should be rewarded depending on the sport is depending on what the athlete will be rewarded. For example, football stickers that can be placed on the helmet. In other sports, it can be patched to be put on the warm-up uniform. The athletes will have a relaxed atmosphere to practice; however, hard work is expected from every student-athlete. Remember: to get respect; one must give respect.
