Bryan, currently the Assistant Coach with U-16 Girls Aftershock, brings with him a rich volleyball background.

Bryan’s volleyball journey includes playing varsity volleyball for Niagara College. For Bryan, beach volleyball has always been a passion. He honed his skills, playing out of his home courts at Sauble Beach and actively participated in the junior beach volleyball circuit.

A heartfelt connection to the sport was rekindled through his daughter, whose love for volleyball brought Bryan back to the game, this time in a coaching capacity.

Bryan’s coaching philosophy is succinct yet impactful: “Push yourself today to be the athlete you want to be tomorrow, mentally and physically.”

In essence, Bryan’s journey encompasses a love for the game, a commitment to player development, and a family-driven connection, making him a valued presence within the BYVC community.
