About your volleyball coach

I’m Coach KeY! Volleyball has been a meaningful part of my life for many years, first as a player and now as a coach. I competed collegiately as a Middle Blocker, Outside Hitter, and Right Side Hitter, which gave me the opportunity to understand the game from multiple positions and perspectives. I began my college career at North Central Texas College (NCTC), where I played Middle Blocker as a freshman before transitioning to Outside and Right Side Hitter as a sophomore. I continued at Huston-Tillotson University as a Right Side Hitter before returning to Middle Blocker my senior year. In 2019, I ranked 14th in the NAIA in blocks, an accomplishment I’m especially proud of. Coaching has allowed me to share the lessons volleyball has taught me while connecting with athletes at different stages of their development. I’ve primarily coached athletes ages 15–17 with the Hurricanes, and I’ve also enjoyed helping younger players, including 12U athletes, through First Triumph, camps, and clinics. During private lessons, I focus on getting to know each athlete and understanding what they want to improve. Whether we’re working on hitting, blocking, passing, serving, footwork, positioning, or volleyball IQ, I create training that helps them feel more confident and prepared on the court. My goal is not only to help athletes become stronger volleyball players, but also to encourage their discipline, confidence, and love for the game.
