I believe quality coaching is an essential component in providing opportunities for individuals and teams to realize their potential and achieve desired success. Clearly defined goals, positive communication, and consistent feedback provide the foundation for personal growth and development. I have served as an athletic coach, athletic administrator, and educator for nearly four decades. I received my doctorate from the University of Georgia in Adult Education with a focus on Intrinsic Motivation. Intrinsic motivation is the inner drive that propels all of us to pursue an activity. We are intrinsically motivated by autonomy, competency, and purposefulness. Throughout my career I have focused on providing the encouragement and support necessary for others to realize their goals.
