you ask of a student, to lead by example, and inspire the change you wish to see by calling out the inherent good in each kid that calls you Coach. Ask any kid that has ever judged for me, I often like to pull examples from pop culture. There is no better quote to me about what being a coach means than when President Ronald Reagan said: “THE GREATEST LEADER IS NOT THE ONE WHO NECESSARILY DOES THE GREATEST THING INDIVIDUALLY. BUT RATHER, HE IS THE ONE WHO GETS THE PEOPLE TO DO THE GREATEST THINGS.”
I eagerly await my time to begin in Fort Collins and look forward to working with the faculty, judging team students, and alumni to continue to build on the lasting tradition of the CSU Rams. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for everyone who has made me who I am: family, friends, judging coaches and professors who have given me the time and tools necessary to accomplish what I have up until this point. Without them I am nothing, and I hope to be the same mentor and friend to future students and see them go on to succeed their wildest aspirations. ●
