To become a coach takes a lot of patience, a prestigious eye for the game and the confidence to challenge a team’s abilities.
These characteristics are exactly what Marquette volleyball head coach Ryan Theis uses to describe Hope Werch. Although the senior outside hitter only has one more season with the team, she wants to continue her volleyball career in a different way.
“I tried studying education, but I started thinking about coaching and realized that coaching would be something I want to do,” Werch said.
With her interest for coaching in mind, Theis said he has been putting Werch in coach-like situations.
