The lessons learned from his experience as a coach at Western

“Striving to be the best that
you’re capable of being, becoming. And of perseverance. Time-management. And, and the importance of pursuing goals and objectives with other people.
And enjoying the journey and enjoying the conclusion of the journey. You know, the
conclusion of the journey if you’re lucky, is success, but it depends on how you want
to define success. And you don’t always have to define it by the, being at the top end
of two to one. Success can also be one to two.”
