Volleyball Experience	Coaching Philosophy
Andy played volleyball for Coach Carter at Clear lake High through 1994. He led his team to nationals on the Club Texas 18 and under team in 1995. He was given a scholarship to play at Park College where he was a starting and dominant middle blocker. As we saw last year in a few men's tourneys, he still has the ability to take over tourneys. Today he play occasionally in beach tourneys.	"I believe the fundamental principles that are necessary to succeed in life are best instilled into young adults though organized team sport. Teamwork, communication, respect for your peers as well as yourself, and achievement through success and failure are lessons that are crucial to prosper in one's life. Organized volleyball allows a platform in which kids today can experience many different levels of these key lessons in a "controlled" environment, helping them to prepare for the life that awaits them."
