Coaching Philosophy: I want to give back to the sport that has given me the most aiming opportunities. I hope to share the love that I hav for the game with every girl that I coach. I coach my players to be their absolute best every time they step on to the field, and I instill effort as the most important thing for every player to bring. I am very passionate about field hockey and I show that through my hands-on coaching style as I help develop these girls to be the best player and person they can be.
