Volleyball/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer any type of volleyball question: school, college, club, coaching, playing, etc. (I am not, however, a athletic trainer! haha)
Please don't ask a question if you seldom check your email. Can you believe that 25% of the answers that I send to people are never read? It's been really surprising to me. If you're going to take all that time to send me a question, how about taking a few minutes to read it! :) haha I will almost always answer your question within 24 hours.
Then would you please come back and grade my answer!
Experience in the area
24 years coaching varsity, JV, club.
You can see all about me at www.coachhouser.com There are also free downloads for coaches & parents, and hundreds of smiling faces for you volleyball players!
Education/Credentials
BS degree from Va Tech in Math Education. MS degree from Va Tech in Secondary Administration. 28 years teaching high school math!
The Picture!
The picture that you see is my team after winning the Old Dominion Region Bid Tournament in March of 2009. So we took a trip to Miami!!
What do you like about this subject?
I have a lot of fun answering questions from players, parents and coaches. In fact, I have 2 "I Can't Wait To Coach" ebooks for sale on my website. Two more may be coming out this winter!
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
I'd like to coach as long as I can! I have a great time doing it. I can't get enough of it.
