About
I believe in the power of sport and positive influence coaches can have on their athletes. That's why I founded The Coaches Site; to provide coaches the ultimate coaching toolbox and resources to create an optimal learning environment. I began my coaching journey in the BCHL at the age of 20. Since then, hockey has afforded me the opportunity to coach at a variety of levels, travel the world and make a ton of friends along the way. I've been blessed and hope to pay it forward by contributing to others having a life changing experience through sport!
