Coach Todd Smeenge

Teacher at HCMS – 18th year coaching (26th Overall)

To me coaching, at nearly every level, is less about the wins and losses and more about the growth of young people; physically, mentally and spiritually that a coach gets to participate in. Coaching has always offered an opportunity to impact young people in ways that I can’t as a teacher or parent. Coaching swimming allows me to push athletes to the limits of their ability to make them stronger and faster. But more than that, I get to stretch their imagination about what might be, and challenge their heart’s connection to their Creator.
