Favorite VB Moment: 

• There are so many moments worth mentioning.
• Personally? When I aced 15 serves against our biggest high school rival team, of course.
• Coaching? When I witnessed a player who struggled with serving all season, ace the game-winning serve for set 3 of our final season match! It was an exciting and emotional moment for that player, her family, and the team.
• It’s priceless “growth moments” like these that fuel my desire to coach volleyball. I’m so proud of watching my players put in the work and having it pay off!
