Why Erin coaches at AFS: “In both the classroom and athletics arena I love to help students learn to challenge themselves, to grow towards their full potential and to embody what it means to be a significant member of a team. I am grateful for the close relationships I’ve developed with so many young people at AFS as I’ve worked with them to become stronger students and athletes.”
