My Students

My team this year is full of so much potential and willingness to learn. They previously haven't had much success on the field and I would love to be able to change that. We have been focusing on our mental training during the offseason so that we can better our chance for success in high-stress situations.

These players have been pretty discouraged with the outcome of their past couple of seasons and would love to see their work pay off this year.

I have some of the best leadership that I've had in my 8 years of coaching and now I am just lacking in supplies and equipment to make this program great.

My Project

Getting this project funded would be great for our girls athletic programs. Currently every female sport on campus shares one weightroom. The weightroom is in decent shape but it is lacking certain items. One of the biggest problems is that we current have 4 racks but only have two benches which means that there are only two stations where we can use any exercise that requires a bench. With 30 plus girls trying to work out in a weight room with only 2 benches can become quite the predicament.

I would love for these girls to benefit from a well equipped weight room and be able to see their growth tenfold.

Adding these two benches would allow that to happen. Our girls work hard, have bought into our system, and truly have the desire to get better!! We would appreciate any and all donations to our program greatly! Thank you in advance!
