Six players. One shape. Every rally.

I set for my state team through college — the position nobody notices until it goes wrong. That's where I learned that volleyball is a game of organisation as much as athleticism: the best hitter in the state is useless without a setter who can read the block and a defence that trusts its shape.

Thirteen seasons coaching later, I've taken two squads to state titles and sent eighteen players into state selection, but the compliment I keep is from an opposing coach who said my teams 'always look like they've rehearsed the chaos'. That's the job — making the six-second scramble look choreographed.

If your club or school wants a coach who builds systems, develops setters, and turns a roster into a side, I'm on the sideline early with a clipboard and a plan. Give me your team that loses the close ones — those are the fun ones to fix.
