As a coach, I believe that greatness is not defined by wins and losses alone, but by the process of growth, self-discovery, and the ability to uplift others. My philosophy is rooted in resilience, self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, and culturally responsive care.​ As a first-generation Samoan, I carry with me the values of humility, respect, and community. These values guide how I connect with athletes, recognizing that each person brings their own story, strengths, and challenges. I aim to help athletes embrace their potential by building mental toughness, developing confidence, and learning to persevere through adversity.​I believe in coaching the whole person, not just the athlete, by fostering trust, encouraging self-belief, and helping individuals balance their ambitions with their cultural and personal identities. My ultimate goal is to empower athletes to thrive in their sport and carry those skills and confidence with them beyond the game.
