He recognizes that every athlete develops at a different pace and strives to create an environment where students feel comfortable learning, experimenting, and growing.

It is also measured by the relationships built, the lessons learned, and the character developed along the way. He is certified as a Double-Goal Coach through Positive Coaching Alliance, an approach that emphasizes both athletic development and the life lessons that can come from participation in sports.
