I believe coaching is teaching the athlete about life skills, about failure and rising up in the face of adversity, not just about volleyball. It’s about teaching athletes to be hard working, good and kind people. I want young women especially to be strong and find their voices when young women often doubt their skills and abilities. Many coaches and teachers gave me their time and efforts and I believe it’s my responsibility to pay it forward.

It’s not the wins that are memorable. It’s when an athlete finally gets an overhand serve over the net. It’s the high fives and encouragement. It’s the club culture that we have built together. It’s working hard and getting better each time. It’s having the spirit of a warrior that never quits but can still be kind and fair. It’s the small things. It’s taking responsibility for your progress. It’s #EarnedNotGiven❤️💜🏐
