Why I Coach
Volleyball has taught me how to accomplish a goal – any goal, by working hard, perseverance, heart, and dedication. I have achieved many goals in my life that others thought were impossible and I attribute those achievements to my many years as a volleyball player and coach. I believe that I can teach the players things that they will be able to apply to all aspects of life as well as to the game of volleyball.
