I’m a huge volleyball fan. I’ve been coaching volleyball for 10+ years. I coach for Outbreak Volleyball. It’s a travel league. We go all over Virginia, Maryland, D.C. area. The competition is pretty high. I also coach numerous recreational volleyball teams for Great Neck recreational center. Both of my kids have been playing for a long time. I picked up coaching and I just loved it. I had no idea when I first started. I learned so much and just continued to learn the game. The first time my daughter came home mentioning that my other daughter was playing volleyball and she’d like to play with her, I said, “OK.” We signed her up. So I was going to her practices and a lady said, “You’re always here. Do you want to be my assistant coach?” I said, “Well sure, but I really don’t know much about the game,” and she said, “Oh, you’ll learn.” I said, “OK.” Then, the next year she said, “Would you like to be the head coach and I’ll be your assistant?” and I said, “Sure.” That’s where it took off. My daughter got pretty good and she got recruited by a travel club. I was going to her practices where I learned so much as far as what they did. They knew I was a rec coach and they had enough kids to start a second team and that’s where that began and I just took off with it. It’s been my life, but I took a break this year because my job got really busy and I needed a break. The practices are three, four days a week and I put so much into everything I do. I like to do everything the best I can.
