What I love about BUSC: I love the philosophy of the club and everything it stands for along with its values. I grew up with this same philosophy and want to continue to promote the way we play the game as a club over just winning. I also love the methodology instilled within the club and how we go about supporting our players through a player-centered approach, giving them the autonomy to make their own decisions and learn to the best of their ability.
