Career Highlights:

• 4 tournaments - 4 Gold Medals - Rolling Meadows Junior Boys - 2006
• Coaching my 13U OVA team of 10 and 11 year olds who medaled in their 1st regional tournament and competed for the remainder of the season in Tier 1. Best finishes in Tier 1 tournaments included 4th and 5th.
• Hearing the coaches of the top-ranked teams in 13U Tier 1 talk about, "that little team that never gives up on a ball".
Coaching Philosophy:
I believe that highly competitive players thrive in a highly competitive environment, and that leads to fun, team building and close friendships. In order to play great volleyball you have to play great defense - so - NOTHING HITS THE FLOOR!
