Meet Coach Woolsey:
I'm a lifetime member of the Crest Ridge family. This is my 17th year teaching/coaching at Crest Ridge and 19th year as an educator. My husband, Tucker also teaches at CR and is an Assistant Track & Field Coach at the University of Central Missouri. We have 3 children; Westin (11), Colton (8), and Kenna (3).
“I coach to be a positive influence that helps players grow on & off the court, learn life lessons & enjoy the journey together.”
My Commitment Statement:
I am a passionate coach who strives to be a positive influence on our team. My commitment is to bring my best everyday. To be the example. To teach how to have a positive attitude, how to give your best effort, and how to love your teammates. Once learned I will hold you accountable to these standards. You can count on me to encourage and challenge you to pursue excellence! That is to work hard to get better everyday and strive to be the best you can be. I will love and believe in each member of this team more as a person than I do as a player. My goal is to develop and empower each member of this team to achieve the greatness they have within them.
Meet Coach Helmich:
I am not a native of Missouri, but my husband and I have made it our home. I went to high school in Auburn, Illinois, where I played basketball and softball. I then graduated in 2017 from Illinois College in Jacksonville, Illinois where I played basketball for two years before focusing on completing my teaching degree. I moved out here in 2018 after marrying my husband who is currently serving in the military. I am in my seventh year of teaching and my sixth year of coaching. We have a baby girl named Harper.
My Commitment Statement:
As I coach, I am committed to helping each athlete achieve their best self both on and off the court. I will focus on teaching players the values of effort, discipline, resiliency, commitment, and teamwork. I will commit myself to being there for the team and modeling the values which I want players to exemplify. I will be passionate and encouraging to all players, celebrating their successes and pushing them through their struggles. I believe that every athlete I encounter can be successful on and off the court and I will push them to meet and exceed expectations. My goal as a coach is to provide each member of the team a positive, supportive environment that will allow them to be successful throughout their lives.
