    Favorite Volleyball Moment:
     All of them. The good, the bad and the ugly. It is a blessing to coach. I have cherished every relationship developed and every opportunity to learn and grow. I believe that a coach educates life lessons on and off the court through example and heart; the greater the heart, the more influential the example will be. It is very rewarding to wrestle through trying efforts with relentless belief. My favorite moments always include people, a team, and their connected response to overcoming an obstacle together.
