to advance in to coaching. Coaching the youth league program through Premier was just the beginning. During the three years, I continued to grow into a coach I always wanted to have. Having the knowledge of being a player was a major asset to my growth. I also was able to coach at the club level for the 2021-2022 season. Coaching the 13 and 15 National team as the assistant coach was a dream come true. My goal is to grow the mental and physical aspect of volleyball to all the athletes at a young age. I want to challenge and reward the youth to be goal driven and have discipline throughout their lives. Coaching is inspiring and a blessing in my life. |
