About

Volleyball has been a passion of mine since I stepped onto the court.

I love the competition volleyball creates by being not only a physical game but also a game of strategy.

I coach because of the life lessons that we all continue to learn from sports not only in the gym but out of the gym also.

Coaching is not just about helping kids become great volleyball players but it's about putting them in situations where they have to be stronger than what they thought they could be.

They have to make choices to determine what kind of person they will be.

They have to learn patience, perseverance, commitment, dedication, humility, confidence, trust and so many other attributes while they experience the highs of winning and the lows of setbacks and failure as well as many other hardships that will allow them to be successful if they choose to learn those life lessons!
