I have extensive experience coaching volleyball, focusing on both offensive and defensive strategies and individual skills development. I have coached various age groups and skill levels, primarily working with high school JV and varsity teams. Additionally, I’ve provided training to adults looking to improve their volleyball techniques. While I don’t hold any formal industry certifications, my hands-on experience and knowledge have been developed through years of practice and mentoring.

I played varsity volleyball for three years in high school and was a practice squad member for an NCAA Division 1 team. In the MySocial adult competitive league, I've served as a captain for six seasons and won the seasonal league twice and the volleyball tournament once, with the most recent victories in December 2024 and November 2024, respectively. These experiences have strengthened my leadership, strategic thinking, and understanding of the game.

Each session is tailored to the client's specific goals—be it improving bumping, setting, spiking, or serving. During a typical session, I cover essential skill sets such as footwork, ready positioning, court awareness, and receiving balls from various angles. My approach focuses on improving technique, speed, and overall game strategy. For players working on offense, we hone their approach, timing, and hitting power. For those focusing on defense, we emphasize reaction time, reading opponents, and consistent ball control.

Drawing on my experience as a varsity player, NCAA Division 1 practice squad member, and captain in competitive leagues, I integrate drills that mimic real-game scenarios. This helps athletes not only improve their technical skills but also develop confidence, strategic thinking, and adaptability on the court. By adjusting drills and feedback based on each athlete's progress and needs, I ensure sessions remain challenging yet supportive, with the goal of enhancing both individual performance and game IQ.
