New Coach Interview 💜T.J. Maple of Stephen F. Austin 💜
Are you ready for some amazing advice from one of the top pom experts in our field!?!
This week I have the pleasure of sharing my interview with T.J. Maple of Stephen F. Austin. I mean, the man has dozens of championships, it's unreal!
But his story is even more inspiring. He shares his experiences growing up when being a male on a dance team wasn't an option, how he never takes no for an answer, and the team motto that keeps his dancers working hard all year.
Here's one of my favorite quotes from T.J. when he shared why he doesn't have rules for his team, he has standars:
"People will rise to standards, rules are something people try to break."
I know you'll love it and finish with a feeling of inspriation, AMO. Please share it with any of your coaching friends who could use a dose of positive inspiration right now!

Coach Interview: T.J. Maple of Stephen F. Austin
Shhhh... I'm going to let you in on a little secret
The average career of a dance coach is 2 years. 2 YEARS!
Why? Because there is so much pressure from the outside world, there’s little to no pay, and we are just doing it because we love it. So what happens when we don’t love it anymore?
Bye-bye!
So why do some coaches stick around and cultivate long and successful careers? They have a community around them and are always looking to grow and level up their coaching. They ask for help, they take care of themselves, and they don’t settle for the status quo.
The key ingredient to all of this is a central place where dance coaches can gather to support one another, learn, push each other to greater heights, and be surrounded by others committed to personal growth.
So if you're ready to try something different this year to reach your highest potential,Then you're going to absolutely love,
Relevé: A community for dance coaches on the rise.
After all, I built this membership with you in mind. The dance coach who is overwhelmed, tired, and trying to do it all yourself. I built it for the coach that is ready to take his or her team to the next level of success. For the coach who is ready to learn mental toughness strategies with clear implementation guidelines and individual support along the way.
In short, I made this for you Angela Ottmann!
So that you don't have to go through another season wishing your team would work harder, or hoping they won't crumble under the pressure of competition.
Because when you're equipped with a membership that offers continued education and support you don't have to wait for that magical "someday" when you have the team of your dreams.
That could happen today.
Up to now, you could be totally forgiven for trying to do it all alone. It's how most of us coached for years, including me.
But times are different, and we now have so many great resources at our fingertips because of this great internet
connected world we live in!
Today, you get to feel what it's like to take charge and start off your season on the path to growth and success.
