Coach Loni'e Austin - 15 Diamond Assistant

Coach Andrew Botsford - 15 Purple

I am excited and ready to begin my second season coaching club volleyball at Oklahoma Premier. I’ve been coaching girls soccer for the last 13 years here in Norman, and have a deep passion for youth sports and the value that it brings. My goal with each player is to instill in them the fundamentals of the game while also helping them grow in their confidence as a player and as a person through being pushed and challenged in an encouraging environment. I believe in allowing space for players to be creative within the game, and not ever letting the fear of making a mistake be something that holds a player back from reaching their potential. I’m excited for a great season and ready to get to work!
My wife Sarah and I have 3 kids, 14, 18 and 20. I work as an outside salesman for a electrical distributor in Oklahoma City, and when I’m not working or coaching you can find me fishing or grilling out with the family!

Coach Matthew Brimer - 11 Diamonds / 17 National

For several years, Coach Matthew Brimer has coached ages 5-16 for Premier’s Youth League. His background is in officiating, and he has loved volleyball from an early age, even though it wasn’t available to boys where he grew up. In club, he has coached multiple age divisions and believes every moment matters on and off the court. He strives to create an environment where players can reach their full potential while building character, resilience, and teamwork skills that last a lifetime. This means fostering a positive team culture, emphasizing personal responsibility, and teaching players to set and achieve meaningful goals. Through volleyball, we learn to communicate effectively, handle pressure, and support one another – skills that translate to success in all areas of life. Coach Brimer's passion is developing well-rounded athletes who love the game, embrace challenges, grow as individuals, and uses a coaching philosophy called the F.A.I.T.H. system.
Fight for each other and every ball, but never with each other
Accountability for our actions and outcomes
Integrity in all that we do and how we represent ourselves and our club
Teamwork makes the dream work
Hustle on every play, and every time we step on the court.

When he is not coaching or watching his daughters play volleyball, he is an executive for a software development company in the OKC metro. He uses his several business and cybersecurity degrees to find new and innovative ways to tackle customer problems through software and AI. When not on the court or in the boardroom, he hangs out with friends and family, watches sports, goes to OU games, and generally tries to enjoy life.

Coach Jaz Burdick - 16 National

I am Coach Jazzy or you can call me Coach B or Coach J or Coach Jaz or just Coach (you can really call me whatever and I’ll more than likely respond). My love for volleyball started at the age of 11 playing in middle school in Texas, then I moved to Oklahoma and played both club and school ball and loved every second of it. I loved not only the game, but also the family I found in my team. I grew up with coaches who really valued team bonding and camaraderie, and I will be forever grateful for how I was raised with that mindset. I brought that mindset into my coaching career when I began head coaching in the private school system as an adult, leading my girls to not only win District Championships, but also learn to love the game, each other, and find their confidence in the sport and just in life.

I took a brief break from coaching last year when I moved to New Zealand for a year to nanny and experience a different culture and way of life, but as soon as I got back I knew I wanted to get back to my one true love; volleyball.

My approach to coaching is simple. Teach my girls confidence on and off the court, harness skills into power and create a disciplined team that can play to the best of their abilities no matter the circumstance or scoreboard. I also take great pride in creating bonds that go deeper than being on the court together, I love building a team that loves each other just as much as they love the game.

Volleyball is a huge part of my life, but it isn’t my whole life. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing and am currently back in school getting my nursing degree. Off the court, I am a photographer and love to travel, read, and binge watch Grey’s Anatomy with my adorable little puppy. I am so excited to bring my experience and love for the game to Premier with the 16 Nationals girls. It’s going to be a fun and amazing season!

Coach Rebekah Davenport/Assistant Jeremy Davenport 15 National

Rebekah and Jeremy have been coaching at Premier for several years. Rebekah's husband, Jeremy enjoys assisting along side her. He coaches football and is great with stats.
She loves kids and is a natural encourager. Her coaching philosophy is to nurture the person not just the player. She played volleyball as a setter throughout Middle School and High School.
Her love of the game runs deep and you can find her playing ball with the kids on Open Gym nights. She's excited to continue her love for the game at the club level this season.
When she’s not in the gym you can find her busting out some karaoke! So if you’re looking for a singer for your next bar mitzvah, she’s your gal!

Coach Adam Green - 13 Diamonds

Adam Green is a native of Southern California where he fell I love with volleyball at an early age. He has fond memories of finding out where the college guys would play to hone his skills as a freshman and sophomore in high school. He went on to play high school and college volleyball, earning first team league honors at both levels. He also coached for his high school alma mater for several years as a young(er) man and coached the 8th grade varsity team at Alcott Middle School this year. When not coaching, playing volleyball, or hanging out with his wife and kids, Adam is a professor at the University of Oklahoma (Go Sooners!) who teaches courses on topics ranging from AI ethics to religious experience to the philosophical analysis of literature (Go Dostoevsky!).

Coach Jessica Giddens - 18 Nationals Assistant

I’ve been coaching Youth League at Premier for over a year, and I’m excited to branch into the club world. My connection to volleyball started years ago through the Youth League program as a parent, watching and supporting several of my own children as they developed a love for the game. Coaching and developing players has been such a rewarding experience, and I truly enjoy being part of this community. Volleyball has brought me lasting friendships, and I feel blessed to be a part of it.

Outside of volleyball, I love spending time with family and friends. I’m looking forward to the 25–26 season—let’s go 18 Nationals!

Coach Faith Sizemore - 14 National

This is my third year coaching at OK Premier! I played my last few years of club volleyball at Premier and was able to take it a step further and am currently playing at Rose State College. I fell in love with the game fairly early on in life and have been passionate ever since. I have such a love for coaching because I love seeing the players grow, not only as athletes but as people as well. I started playing volleyball at 10 years old, and had amazing people lead me & guide me throughout not only the sport, but life as well. I love teaching volleyball skills that these players will take on with them throughout their entire volleyball career.
When it comes to this sport, I like to focus heavily on work ethic & hustle. Skill will follow as long as your mindset and effort is already planted. Volleyball can be a very mental game, so it’s important to keep it enjoyable!
God has blessed me immensely with this opportunity, and I can’t wait for another season with an awesome group.

Coach Avery Heiss - 14 Purple

Coach Jerry Irons - 13 Purple and 14 Purple

As a second-year club volleyball coach, I bring a diverse background of experience and leadership to the sport. After serving six years in the Marines, I developed a deep understanding of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance—values I now apply to coaching. In addition to my military background, I'm a journeyman electrician in the union and hold an associate's degree in workforce development, which has helped shape my approach to mentoring and teaching. I’ve been coaching youth league volleyball, building on several years of coaching experience in football and basketball. My involvement in coed volleyball leagues has only fueled my passion for the game and given me valuable insights into coaching.
I take pride in having an adaptive coaching style, adjusting my methods to bring out the best in each athlete. I believe flexibility is key to helping athletes grow both individually and as a team. I'm also committed to their safety and well-being, holding certifications in Impact, CPR/First Aid, and SafeSport, and I’m a proud member of USA Volleyball (USAV).

Coach Andrea Knight - 14 Purple

I am Coach K and I am super excited to start my second year coaching at Premier! I began my volleyball experience nearly 10 years ago. During this time I played for both my school and club. Now coaching just a few years after playing, I am able to see the sport in multiple angles. I recognize the roles and perspectives of both players and coaching staff. My goal is to not only help build stronger players, but also create a strong foundation within our team. Safety is my top priority; I am certified in CPR, AED, First Aid (as well as a few others). When I am not coaching you can find me working as a Direct Care Specialist while pursuing other dreams, such as becoming a PA. I currently attend the University of Oklahoma (Boomer Sooner!) as a Psychology major. However, if I am not studying, I am likely spending time with my sisters or going on spontaneous coffee runs!

Hi Friends! I am Coach Katelyn Pearson or you can call me Coach “KP”. I started my volleyball journey pretty young at the age of 12 playing for Longfellow Middle School and Junior Jammers in Norman. At 13 I started playing Club ball at OK Premier! Sadly my days at OK Premier were cut short in 2016 with a knee injury, but my love for volleyball never fizzled out. After my injury I went on to graduate from Norman North High School and Central Oklahoma College with a license in Esthetics.
I joined OK Premier Volleyball as a Youth League Coach in 2021, coaching ages 5-16+. Youth league has taught me so much, and has been such an amazing journey so far! I have been able to build so many great relationships with the other premier coaches/staff as well as players and their parents. My first season coaching club for OK Premier was 2024-2025. Being head coach of 14 Purple was such a great experience, taking my team to Gold at Regionals my first season coaching was so rewarding. Being able to guide, teach and be a role model to my players has only made me even more passionate about the sport. I absolutely love watching my players grow as amazing individuals on and off the court. Can't wait to see what this next season has in store! When I am not coaching, I am working full time at a Law Firm. However, in my free time I love to read, go shopping, see scary movies, and of course watch OU volleyball play!

I have been able to coach and share my love for this game for 25 years. I have coached both high school and middle school volleyball for 20 years in Colorado where I am originally from. I moved to Oklahoma in 2021 and am excited to be entering my fourth year at Premier. Premier aligns perfectly with my coaching philosophy that we "Train Up an Athlete". I am also currently coaching high school volleyball at Blanchard High School.

I played volleyball in high school as an outside hitter/DS and earned All-Conference my sophomore, junior and senior years. I continued to play in competitive co-ed leagues and won many leagues throughout the years. I started my coaching career at the age of 20 where I was mentored under several amazing head coaches. I was head JV/Assistant Varsity for years at two high schools in Colorado. I also specialized as an offensive/setting coach while I was raising my young family. Since then, I moved on to head coach the last six years helping to build programs from the ground up. My focus for every team I coach is to bring correct technique, discipline, heart and love for the sport back to the game. I know what the abundant privilege of being able to coach and mentor young athletes is. It is a joy to be able to work with tomorrow's future leaders.

Outside of volleyball, I am a mother to four girls which I have homeschooled for the past 16 years. For my day job, I am self-employed as a holistic practitioner which I feel aligns perfectly with raising up holistic athletes. The mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of the sport are needed for optimal growth. When I'm not on the court I enjoy to garden, paddle board and fishing.

Coach Alani Wilmoth 13 Purple & 16 National Assistant

Hi I am coach Alani. I played club here at Premier for 6 years and don’t regret any year I played here. I fell in love with the game at a young age starting at the YMCA. I then started little leagues and found premier and immediately knew it’d be my home. I played volleyball at Rose State College my freshman year. I soon realized that my calling wasn’t to be a player anymore but to be a coach. I believe being a coach was Gods overall calling for me volleyball wise. As a coach not only is a big focus for me skill, but character. That is why I love Premier because they taught me a lot about character as an athlete. Now I get to bring that into my coaching and help my girls to truly believe that volleyball is just a sport, and there is way more to life than volleyball.
