Who Inspired You? My Father, Dick Lewis and my brothers Bryan & Robert Lewis. Combined we have over 60 years of coaching experience. They have always put others before themselves and have made a huge impact on many youth athletes by their endless time and devotion to the development of athletes and the programs.
What advice would you give your athletes? Always give your perfect effort, don't compare yourself to others and enjoy what you are doing. If it's not fun you probably shouldn't be doing it...after all it's a game.
