Jon is a passionate and experienced coach, who has been making a positive impact on young athletes for over a decade. Starting as an assistant coach in 2012, he has since gained valuable experience as a head coach for several high school teams from 2013 to 2016.

Currently, he is serving as the Head Coach for BYVC U16 Girls Tornadoes Team. With a Level 1 coaching certification, Jon is dedicated to helping young athletes achieve their full potential both on and off the court.

For Jon, the best part of coaching is witnessing “lightbulb moments” in the players, when they finally understand a concept or technique that propels their game to another level. He believes that these moments can happen multiple times throughout a player’s career, further enhancing their love of the sport.

Jon’s ultimate goal as a coach is to inspire and guide young athletes to become the best versions of themselves, both as players and as individuals.
