“Strong businesses and strong communities depend on each other,” Cullen explains. “You can’t have one without the other.”
Coaching as Community Building
Through his work as a youth basketball coach in Waukesha and a boxing instructor at both Haley Cullen Wellness and Rock Steady Boxing in Janesville, Cullen uses sports as a way to teach resilience, discipline, and teamwork.
