Coaching Philosophy

This is what I believe:

- Sports can be the gateway to success in life.

- Beach volleyball is a highly competitive and fun game.

- Beach volleyball can teach life skills along with athletic skills.

- Every individual is a valuable part of the team, no matter what role they play. Every role is equally important.

This is what I expect:

- Trust teammates and coaches

- Be coachable

- Be encouraging and positive

- Be loyal

- Be relentless in the pursuit of excellence

This is the result:
