Coaching Statement-Head Coach Shailah Ricketts
As Head Coach, with over 15 years of coaching experience, I am excited to lead this high school volleyball team and contribute to the growth and development of each athlete. I have a deep passion for both the sport and the community it fosters. In my full-time role in HR, I've honed my skills in leadership, communication, and teamwork, which I bring to the court to create a positive and nurturing environment for all players.
Being a mom, has given me a unique perspective on coaching. I understand the value of creating a supportive and family-like atmosphere, where every athlete feels welcomed and appreciated. My goal is not only to enhance their volleyball skills but also to instill life skills and values that will benefit them beyond the court.
As Head Coach, my primary focus is on ensuring that each athlete has a fulfilling and enriching experience. I believe that sports can be a powerful platform for personal growth and character development. I encourage players to challenge themselves, embrace a growth mindset, and persevere through obstacles. Together, we will celebrate achievements, learn from setbacks, and build lasting connections as a team.
