Coach Spotlight: Meet Alisa Yamanaka

Meet Coach Alisa Yamanaka. She is a Software Engineer and an alumna of the University of Washington. Alisa joined our team as a volunteer coach in the Summer of 2019.  Since becoming a coach, she has made a positive impact on her participants and her fellow coaches. Her attention to detail, collaborative approach, and passion for giving back makes her a great coach and mentor. Alisa believes, “There are a lot of parallels between golf and life, and TFTSV does a great job helping kids see and connect those parallels.” She currently coaches on Saturdays at Rancho Del Pueblo Golf Course. She shared, “I enjoy seeing a concept or skill click with a student and then watching their excitement grow.” We are fortunate to have Alisa as a coach and appreciate her enthusiasm and drive to make our program a better place for everyone. Thank you Alisa and keep up the great work! The deadline for Spring Coach training is Feb 15th.
