Coaching Experience
I have had the privilege of coaching volleyball at multiple levels within the school system, working with both boys’ and girls’ teams from elementary to intermediate and high school. This experience has given me a strong foundation in athlete development, focusing on technical skill progression, teamwork, and fostering a love for the game across all levels.
Beyond the school system, I have been involved in the high-performance volleyball community. As a coach with Maverick Volleyball, I have worked at the National & Provincial level, helping athletes refine their skills and compete at an elite level. A highlight of my time with the program includes coaching a team to a Tier 2 National Championship.
Additionally, I have contributed to Team Ontario through the Regional Program and Tall Maples Program, working with some of the province’s top athletes and coaches. These experiences have allowed me to focus on high-performance training, advanced tactical strategies, and developing a strong competitive mindset.
I have also had the invaluable opportunity to mentor with Dan Lewis and the Next Gen Men team, learning from some of the best minds in the sport. This experience has further deepened my understanding of elite athlete development, training methodologies, and the mental and technical preparation required to compete at the highest levels.
I am committed to developing athletes both on and off the court, emphasizing a strong work ethic, discipline, and a process-driven approach to achieving excellence in volleyball.
Coaching Philosophy
As a coach, my philosophy is built on three core principles: work ethic, discipline, and a relentless focus on the process. I believe that success is not defined solely by wins and losses but by the daily commitment to improvement, the ability to overcome challenges, and the dedication to developing both as athletes and as individuals.
Work ethic is the foundation of our team. I expect every player to bring energy, effort, and a willingness to push beyond their comfort zone in every practice, drill, and match. Hard work is a choice, and it is the key to unlocking potential.
Discipline is what transforms talent into greatness. From executing fundamentals to maintaining focus under pressure, discipline ensures that we are consistently making the right decisions on and off the court. It is reflected in our preparation, our respect for teammates and opponents, and our ability to stay mentally tough in the face of adversity.
Most importantly, I emphasize the process over the outcome. Championships and victories are byproducts of doing things the right way every day. By focusing on skill development, teamwork, and continuous learning, we create a culture where growth is constant and success becomes a habit.
My goal as a coach is to develop not only skilled volleyball players but also resilient, hardworking individuals who carry these values into every aspect of life. When we commit to the process with effort and discipline, the results will take care of themselves.
