I strive to welcome as many student athletes to join my team as possible.    I desire to have each participant  embrace an inclusive  team vision, which  provides a welcoming and safe environment.   This will allow all team members to grow athletically, socially, and emotionally.    When students  commit themselves to what our program has to offer the teams have flourished.     I ask the experienced teammates, and not just the captains to accept a larger  leadership role each year.     This important modeling  has made a huge impact on how well our younger team members become more willing to open themselves up to everything the program has to offer.     Everything we strive to accomplish we  do it together as a team.     My goal is that each athlete in the  program would be able to look back and say "that was one of the best experiences I've ever had."
