How would you describe your coaching style?

I’m a very enthusiastic coach. I love to connect with the passion about volleyball with each player.

What is your favorite characteristic in a player?

I love when the player can “die-dive” playing volleyball that she/he can play 24/7 and always is enjoying it

Who are the people that have influenced you most as a coach?

My coach for life in Venezuela, Julio Lameda. I’m still in contact with him. He was my coach for many years and taught me a lot of things that you cannot learn in a classroom but you can learn in a team, in a court, playing volleyball.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not in coaching mode?

Get away with my family and my puppy “Pana”

Be part of the development of the players, years by years. Enjoy playing and teaching them all the special things that you can experiment being a volleyball player and share the passion of my favorite “Volleyball” with my daughter Becky.
