Let's get to know Coach Madison!
What are your coaching qualities?
I am a relationship type coach- I strive to build relationships with my athletes in order to build trust and respect in order to get the most I can possibly get out of them. I take pride in running extremely efficient and structured practices where athletes get an abundance of reps while learning the why. My goal is to equip my athletes with the tools to be successful on and off the volleyball court. I strive to make them better athletes but more importantly better young women!
What are your expectations from your athletes?
As all National Level Coaches- I set the standard high for my athletes. The expectation is that my athletes create a positive, competitive team culture within themselves and bring it to every practice and game. Athletes are responsible for setting the tone in practices and matches and bringing the same intensity every time. My athletes will give 110% for the teammate standing next to them and will be selfless in their play and attitude.
What is your coaching motto?
Do not look too far ahead but focus on each play and be in the moment! Celebrate hard and shake off mistakes quick
What’s a fun fact about you?
I refused to play volleyball when I was younger- I was convinced I was going to play college basketball. Was forced to play on a club team in 7th grade and haven't looked back since!
