Teaching Philosophy
"Never let the fear of striking out get in your way!" -Babe Ruth
We are a classroom of learners - myself included - and we will respect others, their views, and individuality. There is a reason erasers exists and that is because people make mistakes. We will fail and we will learn from our failures as well as our successes!
"I have failed over and over again, that is why I succeed." -Michael Jordan
EXPIERENCE-BASED (70%), COACHING/MENTORING (20%), FORMAL CLASSROOM (10%)
I believe we learn first and foremost through action, especially as adolescents and young adults, then from our coaches and educators, and finally through training & education.
