This season, Michelle leads our 16.4 Force team in Vancouver! She brings decades of volleyball experience and a lifelong passion for the game. She has been coaching high school volleyball since 2002 and has spent the past three years coaching middle school teams and Aspire club teams.

Volleyball is truly a family affair for Michelle—she has played alongside her husband since high school, and their 15-year-old daughter has grown up surrounded by volleyball, becoming part of the sport’s amazing Ohana in Maui.

Her coaching philosophy centers on combining fun with high expectations. Michelle builds her teams around three pillars: Hard Work, Commitment, and Positivity. She believes that effort leads to improvement, dedication strengthens team success, and a positive attitude turns challenges into opportunities. Through these values, her goal is to help athletes grow into not only skilled players but also strong, passionate, and resilient adults.
