TESTIMONIALS
“My daughter has been taking lessons from Tatiana for approximately 18 months now. She was new to the game and wanted to prepare to play on her school team. Tatiana's individualized style was perfect for her and met her right where she was. The training sessions have always been intense and focused on the appropriate areas of development and offered with plenty of encouragement that leaves her feeling accomplished after each session. My daughter knows that Tatiana will always be straightforward with her about what she needs to improve and will support her to make the necessary improvements. She now plays on the school team and will start on a club team in a month...she will definitely continue with lessons from Tatiana to keep building out her skills.”

“Tatiana is by far one of the very best coaches I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I trust her instincts completely on what is best for my daughter. She has been a go to person to ask for advice as well and is ALWAYS willing to help or talk. She really knows what to work on with my daughter. Whether it's a footwork day or specific skill day. Her individualized training is top notch. She has a way of expecting the best and getting the best out of my daughter with a lot of encouragement and no ridicule. She makes my daughter think..about what she is supposed to do or why she is doing something wrong so that she can correct it. My daughter always leaves her training excited and encouraged that she has done her best and has gotten better. My daughter begs me to have sessions with Tatiana regularly...especially when her confidence is shot because Tatiana boosts her confidence like no one else. I'm so thankful that she was our first coach when we came out here because I feel she is going to be a coach/mentor to my daughter for her entire career. Thank you Tatiana! You make a huge positive difference in my daughter.”

“My girls have been working with Coach Tatiana for years, and it's been nothing short of an excellent experience . Both of my girls have made so many positive improvements to better their game under her direct coaching. Tatiana is great about not only focusing on the physical aspect of the sport, but also the mental piece as well. Her passion and commitment spills over to her players and it makes them push harder to achieve goals. It's always beneficial when they work with her!”

“My daughter has worked with Tatiana for about 5 years with private lessons. She has also been fortunate enough to have had Tatiana as a team coach for just as long, with four years in a recreational league and this past season on her high school team. Tatiana is the ideal blend of coach and cheerleader. She pushes a player to master new skills, take their game to the next level, and reach their full potential on the court. She is perfectly tough as she coaches, and then is just as excited as the player is when mastery is achieved or the goal is reached! My daughter’s confidence on the court has grown every year, and I know it’s because she knows Tatiana expects her best on the court, but she also knows she believes in her, too. Through this, Tatiana truly deepens the love of the game for every player. My daughter plays better now, at age 14, than I ever could have imagined she would at 18. I have Tatiana to thank for that, and I can’t wait to see how much further she will take my daughter in the years to come!”

“Tatiana has been so influential in my daughter’s life, on and off the volleyball court. She has coached her for several years on teams, summer/weekend camps and with private lessons. She has provided intense training with specific drills to push her to improve her game and stay competitive. She has been available to answer lots of questions and give us great advice. A great coach builds relationships and cares about the player as a whole. She sees a player’s potential as an individual and a competitor and encourages them to believe in themselves. She understands the importance of a child’s heart and head being in the right place, in order to navigate life and be the best possible player/person they can be. Tatiana is a great coach! We are grateful for her as a friend, a mentor and a coach!”
