Coaching Philosophy
Back to basics in training and consistency is the key! I truly believe working hard and putting in the time for training on and off the court will pay off when it’s game time.
Practice Philosophy
I work with each player individually on form and have them focus on being consistent in their passing, setting, hitting and serving. I follow back to basic when in practice, having a good platform, following through on a hit and serving with good form is the key for a dependable player. Repetition is a must in practice to keep these players consistent. I keep a positive attitude in practice and games. I always encourage my players to stay positive, to believe in themselves as I believe in them. When a player is positive and can stay focus by releasing their mistakes, being determined to try again, and scoring point after point, the results are endless. I believe we are a family on the court, working together as a team. I do encourage scrimmaging against other teams to work on our strategies of offense and defense against our opponents.
Coaching Strengths
