Coaching POD '25

COACHING PHILOSOPHY
Coach Jonny has always believed it’s important to not just tell someone what to do, but also teach them why we do it. When you know why you’re doing something, you’re more inclined to do it really well! Understanding the concept motivates you to do your best. This philosophy leads to faster, more permanent progress as students embrace the subject matter.
