Thank you so much for your generosity and support through the Coaches 4 Coaches scholarship, which made my first experience at the AVCA Convention possible. Attending the convention was truly mind-blowing and reaffirmed that I am on the perfect career path as a volleyball coach. The sessions I attended provided invaluable insights that are already making a real difference as I recruit new athletes, prepare to train my current players, and reflect on the future direction of my coaching career. Your contribution not only enriched my professional growth but also inspired me to strive for excellence in serving the volleyball community. Thank you for helping make this transformational experience a reality.
