I have been coaching for 5 years in a public school. I work at Welch middle school where I coach and train age groups 11-13. I have my bachelors in Kinesology and my Masters in Athletic Administrator. I currently use both degrees in my work field. I am a Physical Education Teacher, and also head of girls athletics.

I competed at Ennis High School where I earned the captains award for basketball, and I also got 1st team All-District for basketball and volleyball.

I will first focus on building character and Confidence, as a coach you must first build the athlete up. In order to do that I make sure that I encourage the athlete through each session, let them know its okay to make mistakes, and that it is a part of getting better. We will go through proper warm ups before we get started, as we go through the warm up I will provide them with the terminology of each muscle we are stretching, and the reasons we stretch those muscles before an intense workout. I will then go over basic skills, and break each skill down step by step. providing them with the right techniques. One of the ways I will improve their techniques is through drills. During the session we will go through different drills specialized for certain skills. Once the session is coming to an end we will go through a recap of the things that were taught that day, which will allow me to check for understanding. The last thing we will do is stretch and then end the session.
