Become active in your community. Part 1

For the past four years I have coached two seasons of tennis. One at Goshen College in the fall and one at Bethany Christian High School in the spring. These two seasons are huge time commitments, but always end up being rewarding. I enjoy getting to know the players on my teams, working towards a common goal, and striving for improvement.

I take seriously the fact that each team is a representation of its school out in the larger community. It is important to me that as a team we represent our schools well by showing respect to each other, our opponents, coaches, and fans. While athletics has the potential to bring out the best in people, sports situations can easily bring to the surface heightened emotions. It is important to me that my players are always honest and respectful. Players actions leave an impression about the institution they are representing.

Just yesterday I had my callout meeting for spring tennis at Bethany Christian High School. I had 23 players come to the meeting and am excited to have my largest team ever this spring. We begin conditioning in one week and will start official, outdoor practices on March 16.
