ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Established Relationships with students, players, and staff that last a lifetime.

Developed players into good husbands, wives, and parents that are strong contributors to whatever their life’s path is.

Developed assistant coaches to be able to run their own PROGRAM. I am very proud that we have had 45 assistants and players that have become Head Coaches and numerous others that have joined the education field. It is the BEST profession in the world.

Helped to develop a strong work ethic that carries over to everyday life. NO SHORTCUTS! Always “DO THE RIGHT THING

Taught students and players that success in life is not measured on the scoreboard but by the effort you give to achieve what you need and want. Your OPPONENT is always yourself, do not ever take anyone or anything for granted.
