| Introduction | I am currently in my fourth year as the head volleyball coach at Hope College. I graduated from Hope in 1999 and couldn't be happier leading this program. As a student, I was able to compete for three MIAA championship teams, coach high school, middle school and club volleyball, study abroad, intern at a health club in Chicago, do collabrative research witha faculty member and do well enough academically to earn an NCAA Post-graduate scholarship. I am eager to help my student-athletes have the same kind of BALANCED collegiate athletics experience that I had at Hope. Hope is a community that expects excellence, supports and encourages each other, and challenges personal growth. In the past three years, we have earned one MIAA Championship (2005) and a record of 76-27, 43-5 in the MIAA. We are committed to competitively working hard to make ourselves and our teammates the best we can be. |
