My Students

My team this year is full of so much potential and willingness to learn. They previously haven't had much success on the field and I would love to be able to change that. We have been focusing on our mental training during the offseason so that we can better our chance for success in high-stress situations. These players have been pretty discouraged with the outcome of their past couple of seasons and would LOVE to see their work pay off this year. I have some of the best leadership that I've had in my 5 years of coaching and now I am just lacking in supplies and equipment to make this program great.

My Project

Thank you so much for visiting my project page. We are in desperate need for more volleyballs and a crate to transport them in. Having the correct volleyballs for our sport is so important. Thanks to Covid-19 are funding is super low this year and we are not able to purchase the necessary equipment.

These balls and crate would make a huge difference to our program.

Our girls would be so appreciative of whatever donation you are able to make today! Thank you in advance for your generosity. We can't thank you enough!
