Coaching  Philosophy & Bio

 

Philosophy:

As a coach I believe in having a cooperative relationship with my players based on respect and trust. I expect my players to come to practice willing to learn, try their best, and make hard work a priority. I always teach first, making sure to focus on each individual player’s improvement. My players should be respectful, sportsmanlike, and coachable, and I trust that they will act this way on and off the court. I give each player an equal opportunity during practice and drills, and give individual attention to each player. I focus on playing a fluid, conditioned defense as well as an aggressive offense. I plan practice to be game-like and focus on team needs, and design drills to accommodate those needs. I encourage my athletes to take risks and have fun, and harp on them to be great communicators and team players, as well as respectful individuals.

Biography:

As a resident of Wauwatosa, WI I went to high school at Wauwatosa West where I played volleyball, basketball, and track. I then went onto play volleyball at Concordia University of Wisconsin, graduating in 2010 with a degree in Physical Education and Health. During my time at Concordia I had much success; being named to 7 tournament teams, making first team all -conference 4 years in a row, being named 2006 conference rookie of the year and 2008 and 2009 conference player of the year. I was on 4 academic all American volleyball teams, 2009 first team all-region and honorable mention all American teams, as well as 2009 Concordia female athlete of the year. I also hold 3 school records and 2 conference records. I have been a club volleyball coach at Milwaukee Rally VBC since 2006, coaching ages 15-17, and have recently began my role as the club conditioning coach during the past club season. I am very excited for the challenge the up-coming high school season will bring, and look forward to coaching a new set of young athletes.
