Principles
VISION
Every coach should have vision of where they want their team and self to be. This vision should always be relentlessly pursued.
My vision is to be a SUCCESSFUL Head Coach by building a consistently successful style of play.
NICHE
How will you get to your vision and what will set you apart? Every coach needs a niche.
My niche is to be known as a STUDENT OF THE GAME, use innovative techniques and be a tremendous X's & O's coach.
PHILOSOPHY
Just like an artist developing his craft, a coach needs to develop a philosophy that fits their niche and morphs throughout their career.
I have been blessed to work for some incredible coaches who have instilled many principles in me. As I continue to grow, there are a few things that will stick with me:
1. Build your defense from the ground up (Tony Bennett)
2. Adjust your offense to fit your personnel (Ken Bone)
3. Success on the court won't happen without success OFF THE COURT (Ernie Kent)
