Assistant Coach Tyler »
I started playing basketball at the age of 11 and have been playing almost year round ever since. I have been helping coach younger Wildcat teams for the past 2 years and have also helped run many summer camps through my high school and the Wildcats. I believe having a positive outlook on life is the most important thing in all aspects of life including basketball. I believe the biggest factors to being successful in life and in basketball are working hard, having a positive mindset and attitude and being a good person to everyone.
