From father:
"I am thankful that my son and I met you last year. You have been a very positive influence on his life...certainly good lessons but also good life lessons. You are an awesome teacher and coach. You certainly have a great knowledge of the game, but you also have a rare ability to break the knowledge down into increments that can be readily absorbed. Plus you have a very motivation approach....you set a high bar and mix in positive reinforcement with direct feedback. It has been a great experience."
