Julie is a volleyball coach with over 12 years of experience working with athletes in various clubs and high schools, specializing in teens and young adults. She combines her technical coaching expertise with mindset and transformation coaching to help young athletes develop their skills, confidence, and mental resilience. Julie's approach fosters personal growth and a positive mindset, empowering athletes to excel both on and off the court. In addition to her volleyball coaching, Julie is certified in NLP and provides mentorship and supervision for coaches, supporting them in honing their skills. Her mission is to help teens and young adults overcome challenges, reach their full potential, and thrive in both sports and life.
I help athletes improve by focusing on both skills and mindset. I build a strong foundation across all areas of the game, tailoring training to each player’s learning style. My goal is to make them as well-rounded as possible, drawing from my experience in various positions to help them develop the skills and mental resilience needed to excel.
A typical training session starts with me asking the athlete what they’d like to focus on and what they want to walk away with. I believe setting an intention at the beginning is key. I offer both in-person training on the volleyball court and virtual sessions to work on mindset and confidence. Each session lasts an hour, with a balance of skill development and mental training to ensure the athlete is well-rounded in both aspects.
Based on court availability, I offer both indoor and outdoor lessons. Outdoor lessons can be arranged at any park, and I provide a grass net along with volleyballs.
I played volleyball throughout high school for Mountain View High School in a very competitive league and for City Beach Volleyball Club in Santa Clara, starting as a setter in JV, right side in Varsity, and outside in Club. When I got to college, I played Libero, which helped me develop a diverse skill set. I've coached for many high school and club teams around the Bay Area.
The best coach I ever had was Jason Trip. He was challenging but supportive at the same time, which made all the difference in my development. He had a remarkable ability to read players and give them the feedback they needed to hear, even when it was tough. His balance of challenge and support helped me grow not only as an athlete but as a person. Jason taught me that true growth comes from being pushed outside of your comfort zone, but also having someone who believes in you every step of the way.
Athletes and parents should know that I am a very supportive coach, but I don’t sugarcoat things. I make observations that will change the game, and I’m not afraid to challenge players in ways that will help them grow. I get creative with teaching skills, tailoring my approach to fit each player’s unique learning style. I believe mindset work is just as important as technique, and I dedicate a lot of time to working on the foundations to set athletes up for long-term success. My goal is to help each athlete not just improve their skills, but also build the mental resilience needed to thrive both on and off the court.

Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
