Q: What is it like being a coach and a teacher at the same time?

A: There is a collapse of the two. When I’m in class I see myself as a coach, when I’m in the pool deck I see myself as a teacher. A lot of the things I do as a coach work in my classroom.

Q: Is it a challenge sometimes to be an instructor for both?

A: It is definitely a challenge, but at the same time it is very rewarding.

Q: The weather right now is awfully cold and there’s been lots of rain, do you still expect your girls in the pool?

A: Yes, right now we are having morning practices in the rain, the girls varsity starts practice at 5:30 [A.M.] until 7 [A.M.] and once again after school from 2:30 [P.M.] to 5 [P.M.].

Q: What is your goal for your students and your athletes?

A: I am trying to increase the test scores among the female history students because females don’t score as well as boys. As a coach my philosophy in sports is seeing it as a tool of life, and obviously to win, but it isn’t just about winning. I’m hoping that every practice is setting them up for life.
