Welcome to Peer Coach

Private Sports Coaching for Students by Students

My coaches have taught me many important lessons that go way beyond the sports field, or in my case, the pool. I started swimming nearly twelve years ago in our local recreational swim league and then moved to Northbay Aquatics, a competitive year-round USA Swim Team. During that time, I have been lucky to have been mentored and inspired by some of the best coaches in Marin County. One of the best parts about swimming is that you get to be part of a team that includes kids ranging in age from five to eighteen. I learned a lot from the older kids on my team and when I got older, I started coaching the younger kids in my community. As my swim clients grew, I had the idea to create Peer Coach Marin. My goal is to match younger kids in Marin with compatible “peer” coaches who are high school students. I would like to bring the community together by connecting younger kids with an older peer who can encourage and inspire them to improve their sport while becoming honorable, confident athletes, and eventually (hopefully) peer coaches.
