A one on one approach towards coaching, understanding, each athletes needs
A one on one approach towards coaching, understanding, each athletes needs
I build my coaching around strong fundamentals and long-term development. I prioritize high-impact skills and real game understanding rather than just conditioning or cardio, helping athletes learn why they’re doing what they’re doing on the court. I read the flow of the game well and make smart, real-time adjustments to put players in positions where they can succeed and grow. My continued commitment to volleyball in the U.S. has shaped a growth mindset and resilience that I actively pass on to the athletes I coach—both on and off the court. Most importantly, I believe in individualized coaching. I stay committed to each player’s journey, building trust through consistent, hands-on mentorship and creating an environment where athletes feel supported, challenged, and invested for the long term.

Get to know Coach Taiga
About Me:
I’m a semi professional volleyball player playing at AVP grass. I had division two offers coming out of high school. I also played in high school in Japan and I have international experience and a wider understanding of the game.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes improve by building strong fundamentals, increasing volleyball IQ, and teaching them how to read the game in real time. I focus on high-impact skills, smart decision-making, and translating practice reps into in-game confidence so players can perform consistently under pressure.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
My coaching is centered on clear communication and helping athletes understand the game, not just execute movements. I explain why things work, how different roles connect on the court, and what decisions matter in real game situations. Sessions are interactive and feedback-driven, with an emphasis on awareness, timing, and reading the play. I adjust how I coach based on the athlete in front of me, making sure each player feels understood, supported, and challenged in a way that fits their role and goals.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I’ve played in the AVPP grass nationals where I scored against the number ones scorer in our league Nate Miller furthermore in my high school career, I was the only player out of my high school team to play in college at Sophia university as libero. And I had received several offers from several college as a middle blocker at 5ft6 inches.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I’ve ever had was that Richmond volleyball club who taught me how the basics on middle blocking and how to hit one balls. They were very patient with me and understanding of my needs and also taught me how to properly jump and hit a ball too.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I accustomed to every athlete and parents needs and understand that everyone grows at their own pace and I’m totally understanding of each and one of their needs.

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.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
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.
