Hi Aggie Fans, 
This 2012 Spring has been an experience in itself. Especially get up at at 5:30 on Mon., Wed., and Fri.. This spring is completely different from the 2011 Spring. The team this year definitely has a closer bond a drive to get better. The coaches are pushing us harder than ever. We want to win a title and so do they. Physically and mentally we have experienced things that we have not experienced before. We are also joined by to new players Sarah and Ciara, they are making a good impact to the team. There is also another possibility of an addition to the team, but I cant give to many details everyone will just have to come watch us play. This Spring has for sure brought change for the best, we as a team will be stronger physically and mentally. What doesn't kill us will make us angry and cranky at first but eventually makes us stronger. 

Hope to see you all soon, next spring tournament is this Saturday at University of New Mexico.  We're hosting April 7 in Pan Am Center matches start at 8AM.

Transition from being a player to coach.....

Everything my coaches ever said to me throughout my athletic career finally made sense!  Transitioning from a player to coach has been amazing experience thus far and I would expect it continue that way.  I have always considered myself to be a student of the game and now, being on the other side of the white lines, I have already expanded my volleyball knowledge tremendously.  I am so excited for the opportunity to be with the Aggies in the fall and share with the girls my knowledge of defense, serve recieve, and passion for winning I have acquired throughout my colliegate career here at NMSU.  

Furthermore, I love working with the girls and seeing them transform into better players and young women on a day to day basis.  It is such a blessing to be a contributing part of thier success on and off the court.  I also feel so fortunante to be able to continue being apart of the girls lives as I truly do care for and love each and every one of them.  

It is an extremely competitive atmosphere in the gym and offices as the coaching staff puts in countless hours and are constantly bouncing ideas off one another all in lue of better our programing and achieving our collective goals we have set for ourselves.  I am so blessed to be able to stand along side Mike, Kieth, and Tric, as a coach because I know I have so much to learn and gain from them!  They are an extraordinary bunch of individuals and want nothing more than to make NMSU the best program it can be.  GO AGGIES :)

Hi Aggie Fans!! Back for another spring and starting off strong. Having already completed 2 springs, this year has definitely been different. For starters, we began the first week of school. 5:50 in the gym when the sun was still asleep was difficult but now my daily alarm clock goes off at 5. Physically we’ve had to run outside on the hill, work in the pool and go through “marine” workouts with our coaches, and then go lift. Through every workout there are psychological struggles 1: complete the workouts to the best of my ability, 2: push not only myself but teammates and 3: learn the ability to get rid of distractions, like how cold it is or how my body feels.  All to make us better!! We knew these workouts would be tough, mentally and physically; because the winter workouts were so intense, we knew the spring would bring similar challenges. It has brought change in the best ways and I know we are getting tougher and stronger, mentally and physically!
