My initial goal for pursuing this degree was to deepen my understanding of effective coaching strategies while achieving a pay increase. I wanted to enhance my skills to become a more knowledgeable and impactful coach. This goal has driven me to gain valuable insights that support my mission of positively influencing athletes.Â
As I progressed through the program, my goal shifted from simply enhancing coaching techniques to developing a more holistic approach to athlete growth. I began focusing on building strong team dynamics, setting intentional goals, and fostering a supportive environment for athletes. My aim now is to cultivate not only skilled players but also well-rounded individuals who benefit from the life lessons sports can teach.
