Many thanks to the selection committee for assembling such a knowledgeable and committed support staff. Manitoba’s volleyball community is full of many talented athletes and coaches striving for success. To be able to build a program and train these young men in their pursuit of the podium is both exciting and inspirational. Our journey to Niagara is an important one that will transcend into life beyond the game and I am humbled to be part of the process.’
