WHY CHOOSE SW HEAT VOLLEYBALL?
A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR...
Once you get to know me, you will quickly learn that I am passionate about
volleyball and the girls who love it! I have been playing volleyball and coaching for
many years. I have coached at other clubs before starting SW Heat. I wanted a
club that focused on the girls¢ dreams and character as well as physical ability. My
goal is to have highly competitive, top-notch teams consisting of athletes who are
trained in all aspects of the game while their love for the sport is nurtured and
remains intact. I believe this is achieved by our approach to coaching and team
philosophies. Your daughter is not a machine, and will not be trained in such a
manner. I also believe that drills should have variety instead of monotony, thus
keeping the girls¢ interest peaked. We work on cues from the girls when possible,
and have been known to extend practices for those wishing to stay and continue,
simply because the girls are really into it and loving it! We try hard to nurture
those experiences whenever possible.
I believe athletes who give 100% effort at all times and are trained in an
environment driven by passion for the sport and love for the players are much
more successful, both on and off the court, than players groomed by
profit-seeking organizations. I work closely with my coaches to recognize your
daughter¢s strengths and weaknesses, and work to improve both without shutting
her down in any way. Your daughter's physical game can only be as strong as her
mental game.
My goals for the future are to have a home gym built for Houston SW Heat
Volleyball, full of athletes who love the game as much as I do, and to host
tournaments in the spirit of good healthy competition in a positive atmosphere. I
will never stop playing the game, whether on the court or coaching from the
sidelines, and I hope to build a player partnership with your daughter and family for
years to come!
This is my dream job! I love playing and I love coaching. I can't see myself doing
anything else. Volleyball has taught me many things. Volleyball has shown me
many things. Most of my friends of 10 to 15s years or more, I've all met through
volleyball at some point in my life. You will not find a director who loves what they
do more than I do and who will care about the
progress of your daughter more than I will.
