The networking opportunities were incredible and the knowledge shared was monumental! Your energy & enthusiasm made it a truly memorable experience!

Already anticipating the BIGGEST @HeadCoachTC yet - as #HCTC celebrates 10 years in 2026! #HCTC26

✅ Something may not be your fault but it’s your responsibility
✅ Trust them to execute the responsibilities you give them
✅ Listen more than you speak
✅ Communicate with open ended questions

To see the game slow down and let it come to you is a special place to be in as a player . It’s even more special to be the teacher that helps guide their progression

Some take aways from going from Ast. Coach to HC to Ast:

- EVERYTHING matters
- Collaboration > competition
- Players notice EVERYTHING
- People will meet you where you perceive them to be over where you “want” them to be
