Before you develop a player’s skills, first you need to develop their character. You need to build their backbone.
Join the ITA and the head coaches of both the men’s and women’s programs at the University of South Carolina, Kevin Epley and Josh Goffi, on May 13th to discuss the best practices of player development. Kevin and Josh will be answering your questions about how to take a player from good to great, plan effective practices, and create a winning culture.
