 Coach Heath believes in the incredible potential of every child and hopes to help them achieve their own athletic goals. He doesn’t believe in the words “I can’t.” and will not let that keep his students from achieving success. Coach Heath truly enjoys working with kids and finds it not only fun but very rewarding.
