Empowering Every Player: The Coach's Role in Inclusive Youth Sports

As a Youth Sport and Camp Director with the Greater Philadelphia YMCA I currently oversee all youth sports, arts and humanities classes within my branch. We work with around 200 children and young adults every week, from parent child classes where we are focusing on the beginning of that individual's relationship with sports all the through to high school aged individuals who are either tailoring their skills, or just simply want a safe space to enjoy participating in their favorite classes.

With close to 25 years' experience in sports either as a player or as a coach, an undergraduate degree in Soccer Business and Media and a Master's Degree in Sports Business I have worked with individuals at the start of their journey, those at a high school level, Division I, II and III collegiate athletes and also those who are at the elite professional level.
