Throughout high school I always helped out coaching the team as well as the middle school because it’s something I’ve always liked doing. This continued into college at the NAIA level because we did not have a coach for all of the spring season. I’ve only been signed on as an assistant coach so far at my former high school, but my coaching experience goes much deeper than my formal experiences.

I made it to Indiana State my senior year (which is not separated by classes, making it more difficult), as well as placing as a freshman at our NAIA conference meet. I compete at Indiana Tech currently and my awards so far have been limited to high school awards such as team MVP.

I’m mainly a discus expert, with a little bit of shotput knowledge because of the overlap of technique between the two. Typically a session might consist of looking like a normal practice with me observing a couple of throws and deciding what area needs worked on. From there I would walk someone through a drill. Once the athlete feels comfortable with the drill or I think they’re ready to put it into practice, I’ll have them start throwing again focusing on that one cue and go from there.
