The transition from high school to college volleyball can be intimidating.

As a college volleyball prep coach in Las Vegas, I've identified common challenges that incoming freshmen usually face:

1. Speed of Play:

The college game moves much faster than club or high school volleyball. We train to quicken your reactions and decision-making abilities .

2. Physical Demands:

College athletes are stronger and more athletic so our multiple reps in a short amount of time training prepares your body for this step up.

3. Technical Precision:

Mistakes that might slide in high school are exploited at the college level so we drill with game like consequences if skill goals aren't met.

What sets me apart as a college volleyball prep coach in Las Vegas?

My approach to elite volleyball coaching in Las Vegas is unique.

For me It's never been just about running drills – it's about developing complete athletes who understand the game at a deep level and who fall back in love with the game. That's why I put so much focus and attention to the technique of each particular  basic skill. 

As a former professional player, I bring firsthand experience of what it takes to compete at the highest levels. This isn't theoretical knowledge – it's practical, battle-tested understanding of the game's nuances.

In my professional career I was an elite level, world-class six-rotation outside hitter, who was named to the USA National team and who as a professional athlete, never came off the court in the backrow. I always played the entire matches I was in as a

• Hall of Fame member and three-time All American outside hitter at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville
• when I was the very first First Round draft pick, the first year of the first ever American women's pro volleyball league in 1987 as an outside hitter for the New York Liberties
• named to the very first First Team All Pro Team at the end of the inaugural Major League Volleyball season

As a professional outside hitter in the Italian Professional league where I became a part of a very small select group of elite America women volleyball players to ever play in a Division I Italian championship finals

In Italy I played with and against Olympians, world champions and gold medalists from volleyball strong countries all over the world including Germany, Brazil, Bulgaria, Czechoslavakia, Yugoslavia, Peru, Argentina, Japan and Russia as well as with teammates USA Olympic middle blocker bronze medalist Elaina Oden in one season and three-time Olympic middle blocker and two-time Olympic assistant coach, silver medalist middle blocker Paula Weishoff who after 14 years will retire this year as the Concordia Irvine head coach.

Together while playing with Paula I became one of a handful of American women who has EVER played in the championship finals of the D-I Italian championships, the championship finals of the European championships (CEV) and the championship finals of the Italian Cup.

I belong to a very small group of elite level players to accomplish that achievement and that uniquely positions me to be one of the best choices here in Vegas to talk about the ELITE level playing experience and of what it takes to compete at the highest levels.

I can guarantee you, this isn't theoretical knowledge – it's my firsthand, battle-tested understanding of the game's often changing momentum, nuances, ebbs and flows who can reliably forecast and read what will happen during a game before it happens. 

Additionally, my experience as a USA Volleyball High Performance coach and evaluator has given me additional insight into the latest training methodologies used to develop top-tier talent. I bring these cutting-edge techniques directly to my volleyball athletes in Las Vegas.
