Coaching Philosophy: 
To inspire athletes to be the best they can be by emphasizing hard work and
passion. Let them know that grit will get them far in this game and that skill
comes with time. Above all, emphasize being a supportive teammate and making
volleyball a joy at all times when you are playing through effort and enthusiasm.
