Volleyball is my passion and I love to give this to my athletes. I have been a player since 1998 and I have 20 years of experience as a volleyball coach. I have the ability to coach children from 7 years old to adults,
beginner to advanced, including coaching beach volleyball as well. I was a professional volleyball player, representing both my city and my state.

I believe physical activity provides athletes with the opportunity to develop their own abilities within
a controlled environment, improve their interpersonal and social skills, and in turn achieve their full
potential in life. This hypothesis comes from my own personal experience of being involved in physical
education, from being a member of a volleyball team during my childhood, studying sports at the collegiate level, and having my own Fitness Center. These experiences have provided me with opportunities to develop
the strategy and characteristics needed for coaching athletes at various ages and levels.

I have played at some of the highest levels of volleyball in Brazil. I first met Coach Nick playing sand volleyball and this duo rocked the Suncoast with our play ever since.
