As a seasoned volleyball coach with a storied career both on the court and on the sidelines, I've recently launched a new line of original volleyball t-shirts that I believe will be a smash hit with college and pro volleyball players.

Having played professionally both indoors and on the beach, I've developed a deep understanding of our sport's intricate language.

I've taken familiar terms like "kill," "double," and "cutty," and given them a cheeky, tongue-in-cheek twist that will resonate with players who "get it."

The long sleeve version of my "Kill: How to Put Your Balls Away" volleyball t-shirt, which I created as a part of my Peace Love Volleyball collection for example, plays on the volleyball term "kill," which refers to a powerful spike that the opposing team can't return.

"I wanted to create designs that would really resonate with that insider knowledge and give them a good laugh, whether they're wearing the shirts themselves or giving them as gifts to their teammates and coaches."
