Program Philosophy

I want to continue building a complete program from elementary through high 
school.  I expect team members to give maximum effort at all times.  They are 
part of a team and are expected to support their team on and off the court.  
The goal is to learn something new everyday and to only make a mistake once-
if we can accomplish those things, I feel that we will be moving into a 
championship direction.  Great teams are not only made with ability, but with 
attitude, effort, and academics.

I will be the first to tell you that I think there should be more three sport 
athletes in the world.  By specializing, you become stagnant and burnt out.  
Coaches need to ask themselves-How many of my athletes play college 
volleyball?  How many of them graduate with degrees and still play 
volleyball?  Too many times, I have heard of any athlete that goes off to 
college on an athletic scholarship-and is so burnt out-that they stop playing 
and switch colleges.  All coaches should look at the broad picture for each 
athlete...not the immediate success.  I will never tell an athlete to quit 
another sport.  Having said that, you must make volleyball a priority when we 
are in season.  I make this program a priority in my life, and I expect the 
same from you.  I will always be honest with you and your parents, and my 
door is always open.  I expect honesty in return.  

The program has very knowledgeable and approachable coaches.  I am VERY happy 
with the coaching staff and expect great things from them.  They are strong 
female role models for the young ladies in our care.

Finally, I don't just dream of a FAVC Scarlet division championship.  I want 
a program and a feeder system.  I want to win a District championship and 
move even further in the state tournament-none of these things can be 
accomplished by one person.  It takes a dedicated group of people to 
accomplish great things.  It takes everyone, working in the same direction 
and believing that greatness is attainable, not just one person's dream.
