“My coaching philosophy is to teach for success. I believe a good coach, 在任何领域, understands his or her job goes full circle – from recruitment to teaching to delivering professionals. Coaching a livestock judging team is no different,他说.
作为一名教练, I believe it is my duty to enable each student to reach their full potential,” Dr. 布隆伯格说. 作为一名教练, there is no greater pressure than to know your students are counting on you to prepare them for success.”
Congratulations Dr. 彭博!
