I know what it feels like to be a coach running on fumes.
For years, I lived in reactive mode — chasing recruits at midnight, buried in to-do lists, juggling team logistics, and falling further behind every day.
It wasn’t that I wasn’t committed.
It wasn’t that I didn’t know how to work hard.
It’s that no one had ever taught me how to work smart — especially as a college coach, mom, wife, and leader with a program to build.
That realization changed everything.

Like many coaches, I started out with a passion for recruiting. I could spend 10 hours a day at tournaments, writing emails, and getting players to commit. And back then, I had the time.
But life evolved.
I became a head coach.
I got married.
I had two incredible kids (Jack and Ashleigh), two dogs, and a home to run.
Suddenly, I was trying to coach, recruit, manage, parent, and lead — and I was burning out fast.
I was working harder than ever… but falling further behind.
I refuse to let my kids or my family be the reason why I can't achieve excellence as a coach; rather they are the reason why I must. My need to manage my time between family and work, and become more efficient doing it, forced me to start looking at all that has been written about time, energy, and email management.
I’ll never forget attending a workshop with Dan Tudor.
His messaging system lit a fire under me — but implementing it while juggling everything else? Nearly impossible. I needed more than great ideas. I needed a system.
So I did what most coaches don’t have time to do — I stepped back, broke down every piece of my day, and rebuilt it from the ground up.
I simplified my workflows.
I organized my recruiting.
I created systems for email, visits, staff, and my calendar.
And for the first time, I felt in control. I was getting better results with less stress.


Â
What I discovered was this:
There are no time management systems built for the life of a college coach.
So I built one.
That system became the foundation of Busy Coach — and it’s now helped thousands of coaches and admissions professionals build sustainable, high-performing workflows that don’t require 12-hour days and burnout.
Whether you’re managing a program, leading a department, or building your career — I help you win back your time, focus your energy, and lead with clarity.
"Structure your day based on the goals and vision you have for your program so you are taking daily action to make your goals a reality"

Most coaches spend their day reacting to everything that’s urgent — instead of working on what’s important.
I help you build proactive systems so you’re no longer just putting out fires — you’re creating real, measurable progress.

I know what it feels like:
-
To work 12+ hour days and still feel behind
-
To miss family time because there’s “just one more thing” to do
-
To feel like you’re doing it all alone
-
To carry the weight of building a program without the systems to support you
I’ve coached through low budgets, minimal staff, no traditions, and long to-do lists. I’ve had to rebuild a roster of 21 players, fix broken workflows, and still find time to be present with my family.
That’s why I do what I do now.
Because you don’t have to sacrifice your life to run a successful program.
Having a predetermined protocol for categories that fires normally fall into is a critical first step. How do you handle the 100's of emails that end up in your inbox everyday? How do you keep track of and consistently communicate with all of your top recruits? How do you manage interruptions? How do you identify and eliminate what is not working and identify and improve what is?
If you’ve ever felt like:
-
There’s too much to do and not enough time
-
You’re tired of flying by the seat of your pants
-
You wish someone would just show you how to stay organized, focused, and ahead...
Then you’re in the right place.
Let me show you how to simplify the chaos, lead with purpose, and finally get your time — and life — back.
Let’s build something great. Together.
