Desired Experience: Our goal is to train players to understand what it means to compete, how to perform, and to execute in stressful and tough situations. We want mentally tenacious coaches/mentors/instructors who understand the real challenge is to help others navigate through their own setbacks. We value coaches and instructors who have experience playing at the higher levels so there is compassion and understanding of how to work through the tough moments. Development is one little drop in a big brown jug and takes a long time to develop a player so we have to exercise patience and pay attention to details, which can be tedious but very rewarding. We also look for organized minds to teach the technical, the mechanics and how to bring the game together.

Culture: The crew of instructors we have on board full time are fierce competitors so it is not about the outcome but about the journey of training, the struggle, the successes and the ability to make adjustments along the way.
