Coach Hedder
These four people are my heartbeat. There is no measurement I can use to explain how much I love my family and how important they are to me.
The following quote from one of my favorite books explains how precious my time with them is:
​
"Some infinities are bigger than other infinities...I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”
​

A Bit About Me
Volleyball has been useful to me in so many ways. I have been able to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I learned to be team player, a leader, a servant to others, a hard worker, and a problem solver. Playing at a high level has taught me to be resilient, adaptable, focused and self-aware. The relationships I have built through this game have been pivotal in who I am today. The coaches I have played for and coached with taught me more than just volleyball, they prepared me for life. I am still close to many of them today.
In addition to the amazing connections with coaches and teammates I have made in volleyball, I also met my husband through this sport. As a mother and wife, I have grown to be more thoughtful, listen more, have grace for others, and have gained perspective.
I appreciate what volleyball has done for me.
​
I have been able make an impact on a variety of lives through coaching volleyball.For over 20 years I have had the opportunity to give back to a community that has given so much to me.
Through the love of volleyball - I strive to build relationships where a result of those relationships is people that want to make a positive impact on others in all they do.
