Volleyball is more than just a game to me, it is a way of life. At 43, I am still on the court every day, and my coaching is rooted in the same principles: hard work, discipline, and a mindset that never quits.

My life's motto: Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. This is the resilience I teach.

You have chosen a different path, so challenges will come. This video shows my players in a tough stair-climbing drill, a reminder that you must not give up when you are alone. Your hard work will become your identity.

About My Coaching Philosophy

You might hear that I scold more than I teach, and frankly, that is true. If you are looking for soft coaching, this is not the place for you. I expect you to be on time, follow the conditioning drills to the letter, and bring the same energy to the court that I bring every single day.
