College Coaching
Fulton Montgomery Community College (Head Assistant)
Breaking out in my first year of coaching at Fulton Montgomery I learned how to recruit and manage players who had the skill set to be at a scholarship level school but did not have the grades to be accepted. I dealt with the challenge of explaining how to reach the next level both on the floor and inside the classroom. I was taught from many different coaches in how to be successful at this. Being able to learn from my experiences and turn them into a teaching tool was the hardest but the most rewarding for me.
Schenectady County Community College
(Head Assistant / Volunteer Assistant)
At Schenectady helped improve the program to have the best GPA for the basketball team in school history and help players move from a 2 year program to a four year program. Also helped the team with a losing record to a three year winning record with one year’s being best in school history (19-12). Responsibilities were helping students prepare for games with scouting, running practice and handling study halls each day.
