I'm currently working as a Field Hockey Coach at my old middle school, a program that I was able to build along side my teammate and best friend.
Starting up the program: My best friend and I persuaded the school to create the program and we are both now active in running and promoting it. Through this school club we believe we can encourage more students to take up field hockey. In the beginning it was quite difficult because the district didn't recognize field hockey as an official sport because not many other middle schools in the area played hockey. So, to begin with we created a field hockey "club" and recruited around 14 girls, a coach, a secretary and 2 assistant coaches. Finally, in 2017 the district recognized field hockey as an official sport and have recruited a few other schools. My friend and I were then asked by the school to go back and coach. This has been fantastic as now I'm learning to coach others and I have a job doing something I love!
Coaching: I have been blessed with the opportunity to coach some talented players. Throughout coaching, not only was I able to build each of their skill sets. I was also able to see what it takes to build up my game brick by brick. From that I started focusing on the small things in order fix my bad habits or find effective ways to quickly improve a skill.

Coach Linda has been a great role model to me and the players. She played for Stanford University and was able to teach me so many great tips and tricks.
