After years of being involved in athletics and competition, I had developed a deep rooted passion for my sports. At fourteen years of age, I began to aid coaches in their classes; assisting when there were several small children, or helping to spot basic skills. At sixteen, along with my existing lessons, I was given classes of my own to teach. The time frame where I was both teaching and learning simultaneously, I discovered the most about the training process. I learned that each individual learns uniquely and at different paces, and that being trained in assorted methods and by various instructors can greatly improve one's understanding of a subject or skill. Most importantly, I realized that no one is dumb, or slower than another, but rather, each individual mind is wired distinctively and consequently, those minds will absorb material at different rates depending on how information is being provided to them. With this realization i became a better teacher; I did not stick to one method, but instead tried to discover and utlize as many approaches and techniques as I could find to create well rounded and mature athletes.
