COACHING
In the 13 years of coaching volleyball, I have worked with every age group. I coached for the City of College Station, the University Interscholastic League, as well as USA Volleyball. I spent five years coaching in the Katy Independent School District, and currently coach for Houston Skyline Juniors Club Volleyball. Over the past four years, I also held the role of Assistant Director for the club volleyball organization. During my time as a Director at Houston Skyline, in addition to coaching, my job was to aide in the management of twenty-two competitive volleyball teams. My primary role was to develop and administer youth development programs. To further the reach for the youth programs, I worked towards a partnership with Spring Branch ISD’s Advanced Movers’ Initiative. The goal for the partnership was to promote volleyball for athletes with less exposure to the sport and for families with lower incomes, as well as to provide coaching opportunities for members of the Future Coaches Academy. I have lead multiple teams to become UIL Division Champions. Within the last four years, I have qualified four different teams for the USAV Girls’ Junior National Championships finishing within the top 12 all four years. The National Tournament finishes include a bronze medal finish in 2017 and a gold medal finish in 2013. I am very excited to join Cougar Volleyball this year!

Philosophy
Coaching is not as simple as only teaching the X's and O's. I believe in creating an environment where players are challenged and pushed to be their best in a safe and positive atmosphere. Coaches must lead by example and should exemplify the qualities and characteristics expected of their players. Players are encouraged to ask questions. Players should always strive to be their best and give what is necessary to achieve their goals. Teaching players how to navigate through adversity and success experienced through sport is my ultimate goal, as it translates into their development as young adults.
