Erika Michael

Head Coach

EXPERIENCE

I've coached for 1 year, played school for 6 years, club for 3 years, and recreational for 7 years, gaining experience in a variety of roles, including outside hitter, right-side hitter, and defensive specialist.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in building strong fundamentals and emphasizing skill development. I want my players to feel challenged, to learn from mistakes, and to grow through hard work and dedication. At the same time, I strive to create a fun, supportive environment where athletes enjoy the game, build confidence, and form lasting friendships. Ultimately, my goal is to help players reach their full potential both on the court and in life.

WHAT I BRING TO THE GYM

Positive attitude, and energy. I prioritize open communication, respect, and a strong work ethic, ensuring every athlete feels valued and motivated to improve. Most importantly, I bring a passion for the game and a genuine desire to see players grow.

WHEN I'M NOT COACHING VOLLEYBALL

I enjoy spending time with friends/family, reading, and traveling.

SOMETHING YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME

Is that I danced for 10 years, with 8 of those years spent competing. I also have cheered for 13 years.
