Spotlight on Coach Jacobs

With new sports seasons come new faces, and this Staff Spotlight welcomes Coach Jason Jacobs!

With basketball, powerlifting, baseball, softball, and track still on the horizon for Olney’s athletic members, Coach Jacobs is prepared for anything.

“I believe in keeping the game simple,” says Coach Jacobs. “Skill acquisition happens when players break complex movements into smaller, teachable components. As coaches, our role is to provide direction, remove unnecessary barriers, and let players learn by doing. True improvement comes from purposeful repetition and consistent effort--players get better at playing the sports by actually playing the game.”

Coach Jacobs looks forward to the upcoming seasons, hoping to make great strides and lead Olney to conquer the fields, tracks, and courts. Olney has a great opportunity to do great this year, and Coach Jacobs is sure of it.
