The most exciting news is the newest addition to our coaching staff, Dana Burkholder. She is a two-time 1st team all-American and former Pac 10 player of the year as well as a former member of the National Team and an assistant coach at University of Arizona. Her experience and perspective as a player and a coach at the highest levels will be a perfect compliment to our existing program. What I like the most is that she is as excited about the relationship with our club, as I am. Dana had heard about the “nightmares” involved with club volleyball, and was pleasantly surprised to find a club, where all the coaches work together and respect each other as we work towards a common goal. Specifically, to help each person in our organization, whether they are a coach or a player, perform at their highest potential.
Dana has joined the already incredible coaching staff at the Temecula Valley Volleyball Club.
"I am so excited to be apart of such a dynamic club. I immediately recognized that everyone involved has the same vision and is working together to bring young players the best opportunity to succeed and grow. Though winning is important, I have learned from experience that winning isn't everything, and I love that TVC trains the whole person and really cares about the kids."
At my first practice, I couldn't believe the level of technical training in the gym. Many of the players are already learning and executing skills that I wasn't exposed to until after college. It's going to be a lot of fun to work with players and coaches who want to train at the highest possible level. On top of the great volleyball training, their fitness regime is top of the line and you can really see that the girls are fit and strong in the right places.
More than anything I feel lucky to join an organization that is founded on coming together, working together, and growing together."
Thanks,
Dana Burkholder
