PHILOSOPHY

I believe sports play an important role in everyone’s life, offering a sense of family, belonging, and togetherness. My coaching philosophy reflects those same values — success comes from teamwork, trust, and the willingness to push through challenges with mental toughness. I strive to create an environment where athletes grow not only in skill but also in character, learning the value of hard work and unity both on and off the court.

WHAT I BRING TO THE GYM

I bring intensity and focus to the gym every day. I believe in running challenging, high-energy drills that push athletes to reach their full potential. As a coach, I hold my players to high standards because I genuinely want to see them succeed. I pay close attention to detail and emphasize discipline, effort, and accountability in everything we do.

WHEN I'M NOT COACHING VOLLEYBALL

When I’m not coaching, I’m usually still watching volleyball—whether it’s in person or on TV. Outside of the sport, I love spending time with my goddaughter, Tatum, and exploring new restaurants to try different foods.

SOMETHING YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME

I’m a total Diet Coke girl — it’s my favorite drink, and I almost always have one in hand. And yes, McDonald’s has the best Diet Coke, no debate!
