Why Do I Coach? I coach because I am passionate about volleyball and about building strong athletes. I believe in the importance of building mentally and physically strong athletes. I believe in teaching girls methods in moving forward after mistakes, instead of dwelling on them. I believe in teaching correct form and technique to create good habits, the highest scoring potential, as well as body preservation. Injury prevention is a big part of my coaching philosophy. As an athlete that faced many injuries, some of which could have been avoided, I find it extremely important as a coach to give athletes the best resources to avoid injuries and stay as healthy as possible. Coaching is not only fun for me, but it’s also work and I take it seriously. I put my all into every team and athlete I come across. Volleyball is a way of life to me and I love sharing my love for the game with my athletes.
