Caitlin Paul
Head Coach
EXPERIENCE
Played competitively for school and club in Unionville and Kennett Square (near Philly) and started coaching at Fox Chapel Middle School for both girls and boys for the past three years.
PHILOSOPHY
Progress over perfection! Volleyball is a precision sport, and learning to be precise is hard work! The fundamental movements are obviously critical but even the best players in the world swing and miss sometimes! I teach my players that you have to keep swinging, no matter how many times you miss. Except when we pass, we don’t swing on those!!
WHAT I BRING TO THE GYM
Energy, enthusiasm and quirky humor.
WHEN I'M NOT COACHING VOLLEYBALL
I’ve got my nose in a book, or a paintbrush in my hand.
SOMETHING YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME
My love of Bruce Springsteen knows no bounds.
Caitlin also shares:
My dad was my coach in some capacity all throughout my playing career and he’s my North Star for how to be a good coach. “Posture, pursuit, platform and precision; these are the important Ps, but the most important is the People. Be good to them and they will be good to you”
