About Me
I am currently a volunteer Assistant Coach for Northside-Jacksonville High School, specifically for the throwing events. I am in my 7th season with this program.
I also am the President and Head Coach for The Pride Track & Field Program (USATF).
I am heading into my 16th year for coaching Track & Field. I have volunteered with numerous other clubs, middle schools and high schools throughout this 16 years. I enjoy coaching this sport VERY much! I would love to see the level of the throwers in this state approach the level of so many states in the U.S. To have nationally ranked throwers every season, not just one every few years.
I truly believe that if you're a coach, you coach all who seek your knowledge. The only way your athlete will become better is to have better competition! There is no harm in teaching all who wish to learn.
1. USATF Level 1 Certified Coach.
