Is there a coach that you look up to as a role model and why?
Bill Cherpak because he has done so much for me and has built me into the young man I am today. Without him coaching me I would not be in the position I am in today. He has the goat mentality I look up to. The amount of time and dedication he spends to make our program successful is insane! He has pushed me to the extreme and has gotten me better by testing me and pushing me to my limits!
