Coaching Philosophy
I provide an open and honest environment for my players and their parents. I work hard to provide clear and consistent communication to both. Informed players and parents = a happy team!
I strive to empower my athletes to think and make successful decisions on the court. I provide instruction utilizing various media – spoken instruction, still photography, game film, and statistics are all used to help educate and stimulate my players. My primary goal is for my players to THINK and to be accountable for their decisions. I believe that the smartest team wins. My expectation for players is that they will WORK to improve. Just coming to practice isn’t enough. Like anything in life, the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it. Volleyball is no exception.
I believe that the life lessons taught through sports are invaluable – especially to young ladies. Teamwork, commitment, effort, suffering, enjoyment – all the things that we experience through life are encapsulated in a single season. That hard work and effort aren’t always enough, but you must get up and keep trying. WE CAN DO IT!
