While teaching at a junior boarding school in western Massachusetts, I also took on the role of coach in three sports: cross-country running, basketball, and baseball. Regardless of skill level, youth athletics is a great opportunity to build healthy habits, develop socially, and learn more about the world. As a coach, I strived to build a fun and supportive environment within which children could develop a love of sport. In addition to NFHS coaching certification in all three sports, I also completed the “Concussion In Sports” NFHS coursework.
