Coaching Philosophy

My main goals for the players that I coach are that they improve in the game of volleyball, build confidence, and gain strong communication skills.

CAP I – Certified

I have been involved in coaching sports since I was 14 years old when I was helping my dad coach my older sister’s softball team. I have always had the passion to be a coach and share my experience with others. I have been coaching volleyball for over 30 years. I have coached all levels and I have coached players from 8 to 60 years old.

I have had lots of successes in coaching and not all have come from winning a game. Just the idea that players finally get what I am asking them to do is the greatest gift I can receive. The player will look over towards me with a big smile, and we both know what has just happened.

I have my degree in Physical Education from California State University Long Beach. I’ve taken many things that I learned from my degree and incorporated them into my coaching.

I have always liked this quote that I share with all my teams. ”There is no limit to what can be accomplished if it doesn’t matter who gets the credit”

Hayden Zollars

I started playing volleyball in 2008 on a 14’s team with Diablo Valley. I played six years of club with Diablo from 2008-2013 and always had such a great experience with all my teams and coaches. I also played at Deer Valley High School and was awarded BVAL 1st Team All-League and Team MVP my senior year. I played four years of club volleyball at Sonoma State University while earning my degree in Computer Science. I took on the roles of Women’s Volleyball Club President and Team Captain to help lead our team to win the 2018 Division II NCVF National Championship.

Since graduating, I have been involved with Diablo, coaching and assisting various teams and helping players of all ages and skill levels at camps and clinics. My goal as a coach is to help players develop their volleyball skills and knowledge of the game to their fullest potential in a fun and positive environment. I am excited to continue coaching as it has proven to be such a rewarding experience to help players reach their goals and realize their love for the game just as I have!
