Club Position:  Head Coach

My volleyball journey began in Puerto Rico, where I discovered my passion for the game at a young age.  I was captivated by its energy and excitement instantly, fostering my love as I continued playing over the years.  This early experience ignited a desire within me to coach ing and player development.  For over a decade, I’ve been actively involved in coaching volleyball across various levels.  Along this journey, my passion for player development continues to grow stronger.  I emphasize not only enhancing physical fitness and volleyball skills but also nurturing the well-being of each player, emphasizing mental resilience and overall wellness.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR COACHING STYLE? 

My coaching style is characterized by empathy, encouragement, and the empowerment of each player.  I believe in a player-centered approach, focusing on individual growth while developing teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERISTICS IN A PLAYER?

I value coachability, passion, eagerness to learn, and the growth mindset of each athlete I work with.   

WHAT EXCITES YOU ABOUT VOLLEYBALL? 

What excites me the most about volleyball is its dynamic and fast-paced nature, with the potential it holds for individual and team growth.  It’s a great feeling witnessing each player’s progress as they work on the fundamentals of the game and develop a love for the sport.  

Outside of coaching, I am involved in community health initiatives, where I contribute to promoting wellness and nutrition education.  It is my belief that a balanced approach to physical and mental well-being leads to success both on and off the volleyball court.
