I have over five years of experience coaching step teams at both high school and collegiate levels. My teams have consistently placed in regional competitions, and I’ve developed training programs that focus on rhythm, synchronization, and creativity. I also emphasize teamwork and discipline, which are essential for success in step performances.

I address conflicts by fostering open communication and creating a safe space for team members to express their concerns. I mediate discussions to ensure everyone feels heard and work collaboratively to find solutions. My goal is to maintain a positive team dynamic while resolving issues constructively to keep the team focused on their performance goals.

I break down complex routines into smaller, manageable segments and use repetition to build muscle memory. I also incorporate visual aids, such as videos of the routine, and provide individual feedback to ensure precision. By gradually combining segments and practicing at varying tempos, I help the team master the routine while maintaining energy and synchronization.

I motivate my team by setting clear, achievable goals and celebrating small victories along the way. I emphasize the importance of perseverance and remind them of their progress. Additionally, I use positive reinforcement and team-building activities to boost morale and keep them focused on their shared vision of success.

I actively recruit members from diverse backgrounds and create an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. I encourage team members to share their unique perspectives and incorporate cultural elements into routines. By fostering mutual respect and celebrating differences, I ensure the team reflects the richness of its members and connects with a broader audience.
