“I have always been inspired by ASCA Clinics. And probably the most important formative thing that happened in my career was in 1986. The coach that I was working for in Florida said, hey, would you want to go to this ASCA World clinic? I didn’t even know what it was. I’m like, sure. And when I got there and got to see the great coaches in this sport and learn so many things, just in a very concentrated amount of time, I was hooked. So I’ve always wanted to come to these clinics and learn and share.”
