TIME
My M.S. in Sport Leadership helped inspire my career in coaching, and I look back on it quite often to pull from what I learned and apply it to collegiate soccer. While I was in the sport leadership program, I focused on researching and learning more about mental skill training, the coach-athlete relationship, leadership, and youth development in sport.
