Career Highlights:
Personally, being part of the team that won the OQAA Championship, the Western Lady Mustangs, in my final year of eligibility, will always be memorable. As a coach, the year 1989 at Grimsby, when all four SOSSA volleyball trophies were in our showcase, was unbelievable. And, helping Andy form Blaze was exciting, tiring, confusing and very rewarding.
And it was an honour to be named Burlington Sports Builder of the Year, 2009
Coaching Philosophy:
“Who won? Don’t look for the score – look for the person who stepped up and gave it her best effort”. - Joy Taylor, Head Coach, University of Western Ontario Lady Mustangs, 1971.
