I, however, did not have the chance to play on your team when you coached at Ricks College but I was able to take several of your volleyball classes at BYU-Idaho. You have had a strong impact on my life through how you continued to believe in me as a player and an individual. I, unfortunately, did not have a great volleyball coach in high school and was left on my own to learn the game. It was not until my freshman year at BYU-Idaho that I was exposed to what a great coach was supposed to be like and that was you. You refined my skills and helped me to gain a newfound love for volleyball.
Also, I learned from you how to coach volleyball through taking your coaching class as well as being allowed the opportunity to be your TA for several summer classes. I want to thank you for this great blessing because it has helped me during my Master’s degree when I started teaching Beginning Volleyball classes at BYU. I was able to know how to break down each skill to simple and easy cues that my students were able to pick up on. Their skill level improved greatly because of the way you taught me how to coach and by the end of the semester, I was able to see them correct their own mistakes out loud because they knew what they did wrong.
Coach, I don’t know how to express my gratitude for what you have done for me because you are the coach I hope to be someday and I will always work towards the example you have been for me. You are a remarkable coach and I hope to one day be as great of a coach as you are. I will forever remember you as being the greatest coach I have ever had and I will always acknowledge you as being the one who encouraged me to begin coaching volleyball. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy your retirement!
