I’m a sports industry professional and athletic administrator with more than 10 years of experience leading youth sports programs, managing athletic operations, developing coaches, and building community-centered initiatives. While my biggest sports passion is soccer, I’ve coached athletes across various sports from basketball to golf.

Today’s student-athletes face challenges and circumstances well beyond what many coaches, parents, and school teachers have experienced themselves/have the knowledge, background, or expertise to effectively guide the student-athlete through.

Expectations, technology, confusing systems, etc. may all contribute to potentially chaotic and challenging life circumstances for young people trying to balance their responsibilities and tasks while also developing their own abilities to manage, communicate, and thrive.

That’s where Valiant Mentorship and Performance Training comes in.

I prioritize relationship building, effective and proper communication skills, and positive guidance strategies to best serve the athletes, teams, and families I work with.

Valiant offers guidance for the student-athlete, with a recognition that no young person is facing just one singular challenge. The best, most effective route for growth does not focus only on skill development, emotional regulation, communication skills, or sport tactical knowledge—instead, holistic mentoring/guidance treats the young person as both a growing and already complete human who may benefit from support in any or all of these ways.
