Girls Volleyball</span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Welcome to Coach James,
entering his first year at the helm of the Berkeley Volleyball Program. Coach
James says he is thrilled to have been given this opportunity and excited to
see what the future holds for the program.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">His volleyball coaching
career began in 2011 at Salesian College Preparatory High School in Richmond as
a Varsity Assistant and in 2014 was named the Junior Varsity head coach. During
his tenure at Salesian, the team competed for several Tri County Athletic
league and North Coast Sectional Championships and many players continued to
play volleyball at the collegiate level. In 2016 Coach James joined the
coaching staff at Absolute Volleyball Club in San Rafael where his enthusiasm
and knowledge of the game continued to expand.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">His coaching philosophy
is built upon the belief of developing the whole athlete and supporting their
growth on and off the court. Coach James believes in teaching the game of
volleyball in a fun yet competitive and challenging environment. He strives to
ensure the athletes are technically and fundamentally sound in their knowledge
of the game and their demonstration of volleyball mechanics. With an emphasis
on the importance of learning the core volleyball components of passing, serving,
attacking and defense, as well as exhibiting a positive attitude, body
language, and conduct, he also feels it’s important to reinforce the
characteristics of being a good teammate and displaying sportsmanship.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Hard work and dedication
lead to success, but success cannot always be measured by wins and losses. Over
time, he feels his commitment to the athletes and their improvement will yield
results that don’t show on a stat sheet, like effort and playing with heart.
With the support of the Athletic Department, the Administration, Berkeley High
student athletes and their families, and organizations like Berkeley Athletic
Fund, year after year we will be closer to accomplishing Coach’s goal of
building Berkeley’s volleyball program into a Bay Area power house.</span></p>
