Thanks for visiting my website. I am a Professor in the College of Education at Florida State University and Director of FSU COACH: Interdisciplinary Center for Athletic Coaching. Formerly, I was a Professor at Oklahoma State University (2012-2019), an Assistant Professor at Henderson State University (2009-2012), and a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas (2008-2009).
I teach and have taught a variety of classes in athletic coaching, physical education, and other kinesiology disciplines. In 2019, I was hired to start FSU COACH with a vision for the Center to be the leading university-affiliated resource for coaching education and research, and the mission to prepare and equip the next generation of athletic coaches and sports professionals with evidence-based education and research that maximizes coaching excellence.
My main research interests include:
- Coaching education and coach development
- Coach/athlete stress and burnout
- Ethics in coaching
- Modeling fitness/health in health and fitness professions
