I believe that as teachers we should be preparing the students for life in the real world. I strive to relate real-world situations for the application of algebraic and geometric concepts. I feel that it helps the student to see how it can be used in a practical manner. In coaching I am afforded an opportunity to work with students outside the traditional classroom setting. I, along with so many of my fellow coaches, strive to impart a deep sense of the benefits of hard work, commitment, cooperation, teamwork, and the need to pursue excellence in all their endeavors. I am convinced that these ideals will carry them over many obstacles that they will face as adults.
