My sports back ground is Vollyball and Basketball, I coached both these sports in my 20's. Later on in life I had an injury in my 30 to my shoulder, so I could no longer play these sports due to the over head nature. I wanted to stay active and I had just signed my 5 year old to play hockey so I wanted to learn how to play hockey also. I always loved to watch the sport and now I played the sport.  

I never planned to coach since I was so new to the sport but, something happens with my 2nd child's first team and they were with out a coach after the 2nd practice. The association reached out and asked if we had some parents that could help. I let them know I had little experience coach hockey but could make it work for 5 year olds. It was one of the best things I have ever done! Ever since that season I have Coached or Assistant Coached a couple teams a season. Learning and growing my personal skills and the teams.
