Coaches

I strive to prepare athletes to play at the highest level that they can and reach their full potential as both a volleyball player, and as a young adult. Preparing athletes to compete at the post-secondary level and beyond is my top goal to help the sport flourish and grow in popularity at every level. This is completed through scaffolded learning which begins with the youngest age groups learning the fundamental skills that will prepare the athletes to grow throughout their careers off a strong foundation. The later age groups must take these fundamental skills and refine them, whilst adding the psychological fortitude, and mental flexibility that volleyball requires. Statistics can tell us a lot about how our players are performing, however they do not tell the full story. The objectivity of statistics takes away a significant amount of subjective choice and bias that coaches may have. Lastly, there is no reason to cut down, berate, or harass your teammates, coaches, parents, or officials in the pursuit of excellence, and actions of such are not tolerated in my gym. .

Anyone can learn anything, but everyone takes a different route there. My job is to find everyone’s unique way towards the desired outcome.

Assist and encourage players in building skills, having fun and reaching their individual and team goals in volleyball.

Volleyball for life!

As a volleyball coach, my philosophy centers on fostering a positive, supportive environment where athletes can thrive both on and off the court. I believe that every player deserves a space where they feel comfortable, valued, and confident to grow. This begins with creating an environment of trust and respect, where athletes feel encouraged to take risks, make mistakes, and learn from them without fear of judgment. I am committed to teaching and reinforcing proper technique, understanding that a solid foundation is key to long-term success and injury prevention. Every drill, every play, is an opportunity to refine skills and build the muscle memory necessary to excel across all levels of volleyball. Remaining positive, even in challenging moments, is crucial to building mental resilience and maintaining a strong team dynamic. My goal is to instill a mindset in my athletes that focuses on progress, not perfection, where effort and attitude are just as important as results. Ultimately, my approach to coaching is about empowering athletes to take ownership of their development, fostering a love for the game, and teaching lessons that extend beyond the court. Volleyball is not just about winning games—it’s about creating well-rounded, confident individuals who are prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead.
