I’ve helped coach for boys’ volleyball, but I have been in traveling volleyball world since my 16-year-old daughter was in 2nd grade.  Both of my daughters play now, and my son played when there was a local boys’ team.  I’ve been able to experience Fortitude from a parent’s perspective as my daughter was part of the first season of Fortitude. I care about supporting the girls, helping them grow, and being part of a positive team environment. I believe in teamwork, sportsmanship, and encouraging the girls to work hard, build confidence, and have fun while learning the game. I’m always willing to help out and support the Fortitude community whenever I can.

To me Fortitude means having the grit and determination to face difficult situations- both mentally and physically. It doesn’t mean you will always be perfect, but there will always be something to learn from every situation.

One of my favorite quotes is ‘’hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’’.
