My name is Erynn Valladares and I played a Defensive Specialist all 4 years of high school volleyball and also student coached for the last 3 years of high school for boys. I decided in the beginning of my senior year that I’d love to become a coach. This will be my second year being an assistant coach but my first year with Club Nexus.

​What really pushes me as a coach is my love for the sport. I've noticed a lot of athletes get stuck in their head mentally when it comes to a bad play and my advice is to remember you’re playing the sport you love. I am currently an assistant coach for Nexus 17s Green and I run our defense.
