Sam has a firm understanding that being an affective coach comes from appreciating the nuances that make up the athlete. In this, he strives to understand everyone on a personal level in order to create a mutual trust. His principles are guided by the quote, “Comparison is the theft of joy,” (Teddy Roosevelt). Outward comparison will rarely yield us strength, but it is when we look inward that we can make lasting changes.
