Why I Coach
After having an inspirational coach who led me to my love of volleyball, I followed my dreams to become a coach... and even coaching against her one season has increased my love of coaching. Volleyball has taught me so many things in life, on and off the court, I feel that it is one of my many duties in life to spread my knowledge and love for the game to others. I love playing the game, teaching the game, and also learning more everyday about the game. It is such an incredible feeling knowing that you have had an impact on a young athlete whether it is on or off the court through the wonderful game of volleyball.
