Memorable Moments: You really can’t beat that feeling winning a National or Provincial Championship! When the whole team, parents included, come together to celebrate for each point and you feel the goosebumps rising as you realize all the hard work throughout the year has paid off! The relationships you build throughout the year as the athletes buy into your system and your coaching style, is second to none. I love joking around with the girls but also correcting them technically. Oh and I have two of the best co-coaches for life.

Memorable Moments: With high school volleyball there was the Provincial Bronze in 2019 when we were down in the third set 14-7 and came back to win 16-14 and then of course winning Provincials in 2021. I still get chills thinking about the energy from the players and fans in these games. I also may or may not re-watch videos of the winning point of each set. With club, I have a memorable moment of being an extremely underdog team and beating 2 of the top 3 teams in the province at a Sask Cup. Also, winning the National Gold Medal in our division at Edmonton last year. The emotions experience by the players, parents and coaches were so amazing to see. Pure happiness feeling like everyone’s hard work paid off.
