What I love about coaching
I love having the fortunate position of working with teens and watching the transforming impact that sports has on players. I love seeing players who began a season without any confidence in themselves or their abilities, leave the season full of confidence. I love hearing from parents that a particular sport changed their son or daughter and they are now excelling in all areas of their lives. Most of all, I love knowing that, in some way, I’ve been able to be a part of the life of an athlete whose life was changed not ON the court, but OFF the court.
Inspiring Words
Volleyball is one of the most interactive games going. It is a game of intuition, imagination, improvisation – but most of all, of reciprocity – of teamwork.
