Welcome
to 12 Red! I am Coach Julie and this is my 5th season with LoneStar Volleyball
club. I am really looking forward to getting this season started!
I
grew up here in Texas but moved to Washington where my love and passion for
volleyball began. I played 6 years of club and school volleyball until
suffering an injury my senior year while playing in a districts game, which
ultimately forced me to give up my chance to play in college. Unable to give up
my passion for the sport, I began my journey in coaching. I coached at
Cedarcrest High School for 2 years, first as the Freshman coach, then Junior
Varsity and Assistant Varsity coach. I also coached two years of club in
Duvall, Washington.
I
then decided to take some time away from coaching where I got married, moved to
Texas, and graduated from the University of North Texas. Soon after graduation
my husband and I decided to start a family. I have been married for 13 years
now and have 3 kids. My daughters are beginning to learn the love for
volleyball and that is very exciting for me.
As
a coach I love the opportunity I am given to have a positive impact on each
athlete on and off the court, teaching them the skills they need to help them
be successful players as well as respectful teammates. I believe in hard work,
but it is also important to have fun while doing it!
