Meghan Smith

Welcome to Fortitude! I'm Meghan, Director of Fortitude Volleyball Club and Head Coach of our 18U team this year. I have lived in Sheridan for 9 years and own a home that I share with my dog and cats - Cady Mae, Kalvin, Timmy, and Hobbs. I'm an avid reader and spend my free time making things like crocheting a blanket or completing a new house project. Something I am really looking forward to in Season 2 is having all of our new Fortitude families meet our returning families! I believe in the culture we are building here, and I credit so much of that to the dedication and commitment that the parents and girls have shown to this program already. 

I think we all have an opportunity to learn from our mistakes and find strength in our weaknesses, and that's the environment I hope to cultivate here at FVC. I believe a healthy culture consists of accountability, belonging, trust, and feeling secure enough in your environment to fail forward and learn. When young women are allowed to make mistakes and are encouraged to celebrate themselves and their teammates, you are bound to see some incredible things happen. As Fortitude Volleyball Club continues to evolve, I am confident that our mission to support and uplift young women will always remain the same.
