Q: What schools did you coach at before you took the job here?

A: I have been at Blue Valley North, Blue Valley High and Spring Hill High before joining BVSW.

Q: Are there any traditions that you’ve kept with you as you have moved schools?

A: As far as traditions go, there isn’t a lot to keep going — maybe a team chant — but I’m not that big of a tradition guy as far as singing after the game. Those are things that I want to build within the program. It’s important for the guys on the team to make their own traditions as we go.

Q: What is your main philosophy when it comes to coaching?
A: My philosophy is to provide my students with the knowledge, attitude and skills to participate in lifelong physical activity and health in a positive learning environment.

Q: What are the practices going to look like next season?

A: High intensity, high pace and getting lots done in a short amount of time. I’m not a big guy on standing around. I want you out there and being as active as you possibly can be.

Q: What are your predictions for the next season?

A: I just want to create a great foundation and get everyone around here to start believing in what we are trying to do. We also need to get together and grow as a family, and wins will come along with that.

Q: Are you planning on bringing a whole new coaching staff with you or are you going to to keep the staff from last year?

A: We will have a few [coaches] come in with me from Spring Hill and we will have some stay on staff, and we will have some that work here in the building and may have coached in the past.

Q: What do you feel is the most important thing for a team to have?

A: Chemistry ­— I feel like it is important to have a team that works together and enjoys what they’re doing, and for them to be able to lean on each other, as well as to communicate together as a team.
