"My kids, my family, and I could not be more excited to join the Jump Start Sports family! I've been looking for an opportunity like this and cannot think of a more rewarding way to positively impact the community and play a meaningful role in the lives of young athletes than becoming part of Jump Start Sports," said Coach K.
