Mike's Coaching Philosophy:

"My philosophy and objectives are and always will be to teach my athletes the joy of our sport and to truly except our sport as a life style, not just a something for the time being. Teaching life long activity and a healthy life style is number one on my list. Second is to help my athletes to the best of my ability to reach their goals in both sport and life. Finally set the best example I can for my athletes in regards to fair play, respecting volunteers and fellow competitors along with the rules and regulations that govern our sport."
