COMMUNITY FOR COACHES Alec

Lorne Clark

Football, Olathe NW HS

What was shared about Coach Clark:  Coach Clark makes ma laugh and smile everyday in weights class; he is always coaching and improving my football skills and does the same for others as well. He will always be honest and direct towards you. He cares a lot about the players and never gives up on the program. He also led our team to the state semifinals for the first time in his first year. Coach Clark cares more about the character and person you become than your success on the field.

What was shared about Coach Duffy: Coach Kadie is invested in each of the girls she coaches. She makes sure to reflect on games and brings the girls together to review growth areas, how they can support and work together as a team, communicating, and learning to work and respect each other and opponents. We have been so impressed with coach kaddie and how hard she works to make sure the girls are learning, pushing themselves, and understanding kind and thoughtful team conversations!

What was shared about Coach Specht:  Coach Specht is very transformational, building relationships through her coaching. She models accountability, a positive work ethic and integrity. Her lessons in teamwork and creating a positive climate are life lessons that go well beyond the volleyball court. In addition to her being our head volleyball coach she also is sponsor of our local SMNW FCA chapter. She spends time and energy to pass on positive messages. She is an ambassador for our athletic program, our school and the community. Her being a student educator/coach is not a job, but rather a calling, which is evident by the lives she touches.
