My college coach, Bruce Brockbank at BYU, offered the Assistant Coach position to me at the end of my senior year. I had always been intrigued by coaching so I decided to do it (while I waited for my then fiancee and now wife to graduate). I immediately loved it and have been doing it ever since.
The best part of my job is just working with awesome young people and competing with them every day. I love to have fun, learn, and compete so this is a perfect job. I’m doing those three things all the time. I don’t mind the long hours, the extensive travel, etc. I actually like all of that. I feel fortunate to have a job that keeps me engaged 24/7. I don’t have to leave work at work because it is so awesome.
The worst part is all tie time I miss with my family. I don’t mind travel and long days, but I do mind not seeing my family and not being able to coach my daughters’ teams and things like that. I really have to miss a lot of things a good parent shouldn’t miss.
What made you decide to coach college golf? What is the best and worst part of your job?
