Glenn has helped me so much with heat strategy and also technique. But more than anything Micro has helped me gain more perspective through my competitive career, realizing that it’s important to work hard but also enjoy the journey of competing and traveling the world with my friends. Something I don’t think most coaches focus on enough and overall has been the biggest and best lesson he has taught me.

"A good coach is really just someone who understands your personality and knows what you need. Micro and I have been friends for many years. We competed against each other and have played golf together for years. In my last full year of competition he also helped me with some coaching. I really trust his thoughts and ideas about competition and approaching various situations as a person and an athlete. He was able to provide me a trustworthy and simple voice of reason in some stressful situations. I would highly recommend Glenn as a coach for his insights and experience."
