SPECIAL OLYMPICS
Trent first began coaching by volunteering with the Columbus, Ohio Special Olympics Tennis Team when he was nine years old.
Over the next eight years, Trent helped coach the bi-weekly practice with the teams, and began learning the best ways to communicate and create the foundational building blocks for a player’s development.
In addition to coaching practices and teaching fundamentals, he competed in Special Olympics “Unified Competition” tournaments, where coaches and players teamed up together in doubles. For years he coached the athletes at practice and tournaments, including the annual 'State Summer Games' held at Ohio State University.
These experiences had a profound impact on his life, both as a coach and more importantly a person. He hopes to create and coach a Special Olympics Tennis Team for 'Northern Arizona' in the future as well.
