What Kassidy said about coaching volleyball…

“My goal is to create a positive learning environment and meaningful experience to allow athletes to learn and strive as much as possible within their sport, as well as all other aspects of their life. I love to coach because it allows me to share my knowledge of the sport and challenge athletes to step outside of their comfort zone and grow as an athlete and a person and to stand beside them to help achieve their goals.”
