Coaching Philosophy: Our coaching philosophy includes a plan to develop student athletes into better athletes and quality citizens. We have high standards for our Spiritline, they are representing us as coaches, their school, their parents as well as themselves. We want each Spiritline member to practice, perform, and compete in a healthy, positive learning environment. Our goal is for each student athlete to develop positive attributes and attitudes in their daily lives. We believe in openness (approachability), honesty, loyalty (to your coaches, team, the plan, and to oneself), dedication to excellence (in life and sport), and fairness (equality when dealing with others). We believe in teaching fundamental skills and reinforcing those skills through various teaching methods and objective goals. Safe habits will be practiced through proper form, performance, and competition. It is our experience that in order for a coach and student athlete to reach their top potential they must push and be pushed.
