A message from the coach:
I'm Jasmine! I currently coach Onyx Manawa this season as well as last.
I started my coaching journey back in 2015 when I coached Onyx Minions. My style of coaching is quite laid back at this stage. I believe in the basics, and training the correct technique from the beginning, however coaching a team of brand new marchers means I focus on what they need to know and learn first. This includes teaching everyone what some of our jargon is and how to do things at competitions. As they find they get better we do push just a little more to help them grow and reach that next stage. We train twice a week, Thursdays and Sunday.
I think marching is a great sport. I've been marching for about 19 years. I recently picked it back up after a short break and learned there was a need for more coaches. I think its rewarding celebrating with the marchers and watching them get better as the season goes on, while giving them some more confidence in themselves and their team members.
We are very fortunate to have a great team who believe in each other, care for one another and always seem to have enough sass to keep things entertaining.
A fun fact about me is I completed my diploma working at DisneyWorld in Florida!
