I have over 350 individual Pez. I don't like the candy, however. As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A veterinarian In under 50 words, what is your coaching philosophy? My hope is that any kids I coach will still be playing and loving the game at age 18. I try to instill confidence in them and their abilities, and get them to work together as a team. Try that with 6 year olds! If a player plays well for his/her level of skill, then I am happy. Have you had children that participated in Blackhills FC? My daughter Michelle played for a grumpy old man named David Cross. What did they most enjoy about Blackhills FC? The camaraderie and friendships she developed on the team. They still hang out 5 years later. What are your best memories about being part of Blackhills FC? First of all it's a great Club that just lets me coach and not worry about all the other stuff. I really enjoy watching the young girls grow into young women. I'm so old my memory is really bad now!
