Coaching Philosophy:

• Coach Smith's philosophy is based on "keeping it simple." Working the fundamentals through repetition and most of all having fun! Through the balance of a strong work ethic, competitiveness, teamwork, character, passion for the game and desire to have fun, she believes potential unfolds into extraordinary results. One of Smith's greatest pleasures since entering the "coaching arena" has been the student-athlete's response to our belief in them and all that they can accomplish.

  The second pleasure has been watching a group of individuals become a team and all that they go onto accomplish once they realize their strength as a unit.
