Volleyball Experience
• Payton began playing volleyball at age 7 through the local recreation district and quickly fell in love.
• In 7th and 8th grade, she earned her spot on the “A” team as a 6 rotation starter as an outside hitter.
• She continued to earn her way onto the court during her High School career as well; earning a spot on the JV team as a sophomore.
• Throughout her Jr High and High School careers, she was a multi-sport athlete playing volleyball, basketball and running indoor and outdoor track.
Why do I coach?
“I am excited to start this year as a cub coach and being part of that first experience in the game of volleyball. Volleyball was my absolute favorite sport, so I am excited to come full circle and coach.”
What do I look forward to teaching my team?
“I look forward to teaching young players hard work on and off the court. I think it’s important to instill this even at a young age. Hard work and determination can get you so far, and not just in the game of volleyball.”
Why the philosophy of coaching "person first, athlete second" is important to me:
“Identifying and recognizing someone in who they are as a person, is much more important than what they can do as an athlete. Sports are just a small part in who someone is.”
Other Tidbits
“We are very active as a family! Health and fitness is a priority. We love riding our horses, the mountains/camping, and hunting.”
