ABOUT

When I started coaching in 2008, there were VERY few volleyball resources online. I went through a lot of trial and error those first couple of seasons, but learned a TON.

A few years later, I decided I’d start a blog where I could share some of the drills I liked the best and what worked for me. I wanted a name that would conjure an image of playing all out, was catchy, and maybe a little silly. I came up with, “Get The Pancake” and haven’t regretted it for a second!

Fast forward to today, and I’m working full-time on getthepancake.com to bring volleyball coaches relevant, helpful information. I know first hand how hard it can be to get started or to ask for help, and I’m constantly working to deliver that information to you!

MY MISSION

Through Get The Pancake, I aim to give new and experienced coaches the tools they need to coach successfully at their level.

I want coaches to feel empowered and able to walk confidently into the gym day after day, excited to run practice and teach the game we all love… volleyball!

By sharing drills, coaching tips, and digital downloads in “The Shop”, I want this season to be your BEST. SEASON. YET!

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT GET THE PANCAKE…

“I just wanted to let you know I’ve read your book and followed your tips religiously during my first season as coach! I’m an assistant for the 7th and 8th grade teams at a local middle school. 

This past weekend our 7th graders went to the state finals and WON THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP! Keep sharing content, I’m convinced it helped us!”

-Coach Bailey Sands

“I was hesitant about coaching since I have no experience. Myself and my friend coached the [third grade] girls using your information and what we remembered from high school.

I really loved coaching and can’t wait for next fall. We won the championship!

Now we are really hooked for the next five years and am excited about learning more about how to coach the girls. 

They were brand new to the game as we were so it was definitely a great experience for all of us.”

-Coach Judy Perez

“Hi! I’ve been following you for awhile (I’m also @highlandervolleyballcamp…) and while I’m a varsity coach, I haven’t coached club in over 10 years!

Tomorrow is my first tournament with my new team, so naturally I’m a little anxious over the details. I guessed you might have a tournament packing list for coaches so I googled it and sure enough you did! 

Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated it! Good luck this season.”

-Coach Dana Pearl

“Coaching is so rewarding and I follow a lot of your writings. Don’t know if you remember, but early this past summer I bought your book. A lot of what you wrote in that book I encountered and a lot of your tips helped mitigate what would have been a stressful season start.”

-Coach Ruben Cervantez, Vision Elite Volleyball
