Volleyball Training with Purpose

I'm so glad you chose to train with us!

A little about me...I started playing volleyball in the 8th grade and was on the "C" team. I had NO skills but was athletic and coachable. My first sport was basketball until my senior year. UTSA was highly interested but I realized that volleyball was a sport I wanted to pursue. I also had offers for track and field as well.  

My freshman year in high school, I was able to play, but only front row because my skillset was very low. As a sophomore, I was noticed as I challenged a senior during a hitting drill. She was blocked by me and THEN the coach 'saw' my potential. 

It was up from there! I made Varsity my last two years of high school. I was MVP of the district as a senior. My collegiate career was supposed to be in basketball but I chose volleyball due to less contact. So I walked on to a Division 1 Junior College and received MVP honors my second year. I received a full volleyball scholarship to Concordia Lutheran College (now Concordia University Austin). I continued my career with them in volleyball and basketball graduating with my Business Management degree. Many years later, I returned to get my Masters degree in Education, specializing in Curriculum & Instruction. 

I have never stopped playing volleyball and was considered a late bloomer. I tried out for the Women's Olympic volleyball team where I had the opportunity to play in Switzerland for three years. In the past year as I played in the Adult Open National tournament, I was approached by a Brazilian player to come and play for them IN BRAZIL. I was shocked. It also reminded me that I still have the opportunity to play abroad IF I choose.

I have coached club volleyball for 14 years and High School for the last seven years. I am not starting my club which is pretty amazing! 

My youngest daughter will now be playing at the University of Incarnate Word and we are excited to watch her play at the next level.

This journey has been pretty awesome! From playing with international and Olympic players to coaching young players to love this sport. I absolutely LOVE what I do.
