GSVC Staff

My purpose as a coach is to educate athletes on their volleyball technique and abilities but also, and possibly more importantly, to encourage players to develop skills that go beyond the volleyball court such as responsibility, punctuality, teamwork, kindness, loyalty and commitment to their teammates, program and to their goals. I aim to create an environment for all players that fosters a positive learning environment where talent levels can be pushed, tested and challenged while having fun and cultivating meaningful relationships. As a leader of this program, my objective is to have all athletes, regardless of their skills and ability, feel that they are a better person for having been a part of this athletic club.
