Developing talent, building confidence, and creating game-changing athletes.
Great athletes aren't just born; they're developed through consistency, discipline, and intentional training. With five years of private coaching experience, I bring a results-driven approach to volleyball development. I've coached BCAA All-Star athletes, three YMCA volleyball teams, and Miramar High School's All-Star team, leading two YMCA teams to championship titles. I specialize in developing strong fundamentals, improving technique, increasing volleyball IQ, and building the confidence athletes need to compete at their highest level. Whether you're just starting or looking to elevate your competitive game, my goal is to help you become the athlete you know you can be.
Career & accomplishments
A typical training session with me is structured, engaging, and tailored to each athlete's individual goals and skill level. We begin with dynamic stretching, a warm-up, and ball-control exercises to prepare for the session. From there, we focus on specific volleyball skills such as passing, serving, setting, hitting, defensive positioning, and footwork.
I emphasize proper technique, repetition, and consistency while gradually increasing the difficulty of each drill as the athlete improves. I also incorporate fun, competitive challenges and game-like situations to help athletes apply what they've learned. We finish with feedback, a review of progress, and areas to continue working on. My goal is to make every session productive, challenging, and enjoyable while ensuring athletes leave feeling more confident in their abilities.
Best coach I ever had
**Coach Bell**
One of the best coaches I ever had was Coach Bell. I still remember my freshman year of high school. At the time, I wasn't even expecting to make varsity. I was playing libero on JV, and we were scrimmaging against the varsity team.
During the scrimmage, varsity hit a ball over, and I dove to make the pass. The ball went right over the head of one of our strongest players and landed in, earning us a point. I remember Coach Bell asking, "Who passed that ball?" I immediately got nervous because I thought I had done something wrong. My teammates pointed toward me, and instead of correcting me, she told me, "You just earned yourself a spot on varsity."
That moment has stayed with me throughout my volleyball journey. Coach Bell saw potential in me before I fully saw it in myself. She taught me that sometimes all an athlete needs is someone who believes in them, pushes them, and gives them the opportunity to prove what they can do.
That experience has shaped the coach I strive to be today. I want my athletes to know that I see their potential, even when they may not see it themselves. I want to be the coach who builds their confidence, challenges their limits, and reminds them that one opportunity can change everything.
What athletes & parents should know
I want athletes and parents to know that I genuinely care about each player's development, both on and off the court. I understand that every athlete learns differently, develops at their own pace, and has unique goals. My coaching approach is built on patience, encouragement, accountability, and consistency.
I believe in creating an environment where athletes feel comfortable making mistakes because mistakes are part of learning. At the same time, I will challenge players to step outside their comfort zones, stay disciplined, and hold themselves to a higher standard.
Parents can expect open communication, intentional training, and a coach who is invested in their child's progress. Athletes can expect someone who will celebrate their improvements, push them through challenges, and remind them of their potential even when they doubt themselves.
Ultimately, I want every athlete I work with to leave training not only as a better volleyball player but also as a more confident, disciplined, and resilient individual. My goal is to help each player develop skills that will benefit them long after they leave the court.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.
