Volleyball

Coaching Philosophy-

Here at Mountlake Terrace our volleyball coaching philosophy is based on how we coach and
how we strive to coach. It reflects our major objectives and the beliefs and principles that we adhere to
in order to achieve our objectives.
We are coaching the sport of volleyball, but we are also teaching life lessons, we take our
position as being a role model seriously. We understand that they are players, but also human, as are
we. We set high expectations for individuals and the team as a whole, including ourselves. If something
isn’t working, then it is our job to figure out a way to make it work. We are constantly bettering
ourselves as coaches by looking outside of the box and creating competitive and productive practices in
order for the teams to learn, grow, and succeed. In the process we push hard, but are patient and
encouraging. We don’t expect perfection, but we do expect everyone to give 110% because that is what
we are giving our teams. Repetition is key to our coaching style. Not only in the reps the players are
getting, but with our coaches giving constant feedback; letting them know when they need to fix
something, how to fix it, and when they are doing something great and should be celebrated. We
encourage our players and teams and build them up to believe in themselves and their teammates.
