Question
Was there a spark that kindled your interest before you ever seriously considered being a Coach?
Answer
Greg loved being a Coach
I have been coaching youth sports for the past nine years. I have coached 13 girls soccer teams and 3 girls lacrosse teams (age range 5 to 14 years old). Coaching has been a great way for me to get to know many parents and children in my community and has been a great way to spend quality time with my three daughters. I have also developed some great friendships while coaching alongside other moms and dads in my town.
