COACHING PHILOSOPHY
A coach’s action not only affects the person as a player but as an individual off the court as well. It is not just about playing a game, the game is the catalyst to discover how to overcome adversity and work as a team to achieve a goal. I believe everyone’s unique personality and skill is what makes a great team. We must learn to appreciate that uniqueness so that every player feels valued and an integral part of the team’s success. Practice is competition. You must practice hard and condition well if you are going to outlast and out work your opponent. That said you are also only as good as the weakest player on the day of competition. I must therefore create a relationship with my players so that I can push them harder than they will push themselves. I must respect my players so that they will respect and trust me. Finally, and most importantly, my players are someone else’s child. As a mother I want to treat my players in the same way I want my daughters treated.
“The key elements in the art of working together are how to deal with change, how to deal with conflict and how to reach our potential. The needs of the team are best met when we meet the needs of individual an individual person.” Max DePree

PERSONAL
I am celebrating 20 years of marriage in 2013 and the proud mother of three daughters. Aubrey, 14, has played volleyball for 7 years (2 with the Vipers) and is an exceptional Student at Marysville Getchell Bio-Med. Alyssa, 12, is trying out for the Vipers for the first time and is our artist in residence. Abigail, 8, is our energetic and fun loving actress who lives life at 100 MPH. My husband and best friend is a manager at Boeing on the 777 program. We are an active family who abandoned cable TV 5 years ago to focus on reading, church, outdoor activities and volunteering in the community. I have been a classroom volunteer in the Marysville CO-OP for the past 7 years and have played key roles in school auctions and community events such as Summer Jubilee. I love gardening, reading, cooking, Thai food and volleyball.
