"great coach!!!

I have been playing volleyball since I was 10 years old. Representing my primary, middle, and high school city league, with six years of experience playing in a Polish provincial league. With my bachelor's degree in Physical Education and Sport, and a Coaching degree in Poland, I am confident I possess the skills and dedication to contribute significantly to your growth. During my time as a libero, I developed strong technical skills and a comprehensive understanding of almost all positions. I am also experienced in coaching, as far as individuals and teams. Since I am new to the American Volleyball system, I only managed to find an individual who I was trained on the beach court and helped out a group of players during the pick-ups. Starting a new journey as a High School Coach Assistant could be very challenging for me, but I am eager to learn and contribute my experience to the team. Completed a physical education teaching internship in a Polish primary school and participated in a Polish-French international Volleyball Beach exchange tournament in France. I am a patient and hardworking individual who sometimes might be very demanding during the training process and expect focus from the players. I helped lead my city tournament team to the podium four times. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

"Thanks to her guidance, I have seen a huge improvement in my serving and hitting. Very detail oriented.
