FAVORITE QUOTES
“There’s no such thing as the unknown, only things temporarily hidden.”
— James T. Kirk
“If you don’t win, there’s a pretty good chance that you’ll lose.”
— My Dad
I try to base my leadership and teaching style off of my dad. As a career Marine and an engaging father, he was always able to make mundane tasks fun, whether he was in a combat zone or making a chore list for me and my sister.
I believe that when you make hard work fun and engaging, it will give you the tools to overcome any obstacle (and you’ll never really “work” a day in your life!)
Using that framework, I not only want to help kids learn the necessary skills to be proficient in the water, but also skills that translate into overcoming any difficult challenges that they may face in their life!
