“The CYC is an exceptional place for kids to go after school.  It typifies fun, discipline and structure.  I’m proud to be involved with the CYC.”

<.“At CYC we have many good kids who are working toward becoming the kind of citizens that you want.  They are good role models….The CYC and the Hofmann Foundation have been so supportive of these kids.  I have been given everything as a coach to help these kids grow and see the world.”

“CYC is a place where the child is more important than the bottom line.  It is always what is best for the child, how can we help this child?  Not, can we afford to do this?  To use sports to help children grow into responsible mature adults. CYC is the perfect place to coach children.”

“I think of the CYC like a garden, and myself like a gardener.  In a garden you have different plants, with different needs, so if a plant needs a lot of sun you plant it in a sunny area. Other plants wither with too much sun, so you have to plant them in the shade. Kids have different needs, and you have to talk to them and teach them according to their nature.  Also, in a garden, different plants have value of different kinds. Some produce healthy vegetables, others give shade, others produce beautiful flowers and scents.  Kids also have different natural talents, and I try to make the Taekwondo program broad enough so they can all find a way to develop themselves fully, as unique individuals.”
