Why I Coach
When I am asked this question, I almost always respond, "Because I love coaching." But I believe the whole answer is much deeper than that. I enjoy the excitement of competition and the thrill of winning a close match, but volleyball is about much more than winning and losing games and matches. I coach because I feel that – through volleyball -- I can teach my players life lessons as well as the skills to make them a better player on and off the court.
