I've been playing volleyball for 34 years now, and still enjoy it. There was no club volleyball in those days, so I started in grade 9 as part of my highschool team. Today, many girls already have 2-3 years' experience by the time they are in grade 9, which I think is amazing.

This is my third year coaching, and I still love it. Playing the sport and teaching are two very different things, and I have no doubt I'll be learning how to do it better for many years to come.

I think sports should be fun, although a competitive team also needs to maintain a certain level of discipline. I'm sure I'll be working on finding that balance throughout my coaching career.
