Scholarship will help cover trip to National Coaches Convention
The scholarships provide the opportunity for up-and-coming volleyball coaches to attend their first AVCA Convention with the scholarship money used to pay for convention registration and hotel costs. Scholarship recipients will have the opportunity to interact with successful coaches from all levels and explore the limitless networking and educational opportunities available at the Convention that make this an annual can't-miss event.
"On behalf of the committee I would like to congratulate the scholarship recipients," said Coaches 4 Coaches Committee Chair and Morehead State University Head Coach Jaime Gordon. "This was an incredibly talented pool of applicants and a difficult process. We are confident that these 12 represent the passion and commitment of their peers, and will be outstanding ambassadors for the Coaches 4 Coaches program. I am grateful for the time and thorough commitment that the committee has dedicated to these applicants, as well as the many individuals that give so generously to make this program possible."
In order to be eligible for the C4C Scholarship, applicants must be active AVCA members who are attending their first AVCA Convention. Now in its ninth year, a selection committee reviews the applications and makes their decisions based on academics, contributions to the sport of volleyball on and off the court, a professional letter of recommendation, and a personal written submission outlining their desire to attend the AVCA Annual Convention and their aspirations in coaching.
Jasmine Brown is a University of Louisville Volunteer Assistant. After an outstanding playing career at the University of Tennessee, she has strived to positively impact the student-athletes who are going through similar experiences she once went through. She once set out to be a social worker while coaching on the side, but soon realized that she is her "best self" when coaching: "Helping girls discover their strengths, capitalize on those strengths and experience breakthroughs and moments of true mental and emotional growth are the reasons why I love coaching," Brown said.
