Book Private Volleyball Lessons with Coach Katerina

I am a highly accomplished professional volleyball athlete who began competing at the elite level from the age of 13. During my athletic career, I won four national tournaments with my team, earned second place in the Collegiate European Championship, and played in Greece's 1st League. My dedication, discipline, and mental resilience have defined my success as a competitive athlete, laying the foundation for my professional achievements. I am currently a competing beach volleyball athlete, continuing to showcase my passion and skills in the sport. Because I started competed professionaly at such a young age, I am now passionate about helping other teenagers excel in their sport by coaching them in volleyball, strength training, and mental performance—key areas that are especially helpful during this crucial stage of development.

I help athletes improve their game by completing mental coaching with physical training techniques to build focus, confidence, and resilience. using visualization, mental, rehearsal, and stress management strategies, I teach athletes how to calm under pressure, sharpen their focus, and overcome mental blocks. I also incorporate Breathwork and guided imagery to optimize performance and recovery, whether it’s strengthening the body, mastering, mindset, or improving, emotional regulation, my approach is designed to unlock the full potential both on and off the field.

A mental coaching session is Taylor to the athlete specific needs and goals. They typically start with a brave check in to assess their mental and physical state, followed by goal setting for the session. We might begin with breathing exercise exercises or guided visualization to calm the nervous system and sharpen focus. From there, we work on mental rehearsal techniques, visualizing, success, and overcoming challenges to build confidence and mental clarity.

For beach volleyball training, we begin with mobility work to enhance performance and prevent injury, and then we move to Sports specific exercises to improve technique and all the skills needed for athletes to excel.

Sessions and with a debrief, reflection and actionable steps athletes can apply to the training or competitions

I often credit my first Coach, c.Dora, as one of my best coaches for instilling the principles of hard work, resilience and confidence, teaching us techniques that I still apply and teach today. My coach believed that success wasn’t just about physical training but also about mental preparation and visualization. Before every game, I was taught to mentally rehearse my movements, envisioning myself serving the ball flawlessly and executing winning plays. This mental imagery built confidence and focus, allowing me to perform under pressure.

My coach’s emphasis on mindset training helped me develop resilience, turning setbacks into learning opportunities. This approach not only transformed my performance on the court but also shaped my mindset off the court, making me a lifelong advocate for mental performance strategies.

Today, I incorporate these techniques into my coaching programs, inspiring young athletes to harness the power of mental rehearsal and master their mindset. I believe that taming the mind is just as important as training the body, especially during the formative teenage years when confidence and focus are still developing. By combining strength training, volleyball skills, and mental performance coaching, I empower teenagers to unlock their full potential both in sports and in life.

I am deeply passionate about coaching strength-physical and mental, and committed to helping young athletes succeed, both on and off the court. I know firsthand what it takes to reach the top, and I bring that same energy and focus to my coaching. My approach is built on combining technical training, strength development, and mental performance strategies to help athletes build confidence, resilience, and discipline.

I understand the unique challenges and pressures young athletes face because I’ve lived them. My goal is to not only improve their athletic skills but also to equip them with life tools that will set them up for long-term success.
