Sue Baer is the head coach for our 16-1 Beaverton team. She played collegiate volleyball for four years at CSU Sacramento and brings extensive coaching experience, including six years at Lincoln High School (two as an assistant, four as varsity coach) and three years coaching club volleyball. Aspire NW marks her fourth year coaching with the club.

A California native, Sue moved to Portland to raise her three children with her husband, Mike. When she’s not coaching or working as a physical therapist, she enjoys hiking, cycling, and exploring all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

Sue’s coaching philosophy centers on creating a positive, growth-focused environment where athletes feel supported, challenged, and valued. She emphasizes hard work, teamwork, and integrity, encouraging players to push themselves, give their best effort, and hold each other to high standards while growing together as a team.
