BEN GILLIS

 

Ben is a coach who is full of passion for the game. He has committed himself to be all in as a coach and reflects that through his commitment to not only teach athletes, but to learn from those around him as well. His greatest strengths are the ability to connect with the players to get the most out of them. Coaching younger players at this level, you want to have a coach who will connect with the players because when you treat players with respect and treat them as humans first and athletes second, the players potential is sky high. Ben has coached 5 seasons at the AA level, while last season Ben was an assistant with the AAA WILD organization. Ben’s unique skill set allows him to still be old enough to have the respect of the players but also remaining young enough to be able to relate and build the vital relationships with players.
