Hey hey!! 💕 I’m Kelsey, but most people call me Swaggie 💁‍♀️

I was born and raised in Kansas City, surrounded by an amazing support system that shaped me into who I am today. I started playing volleyball around 12 or 13, and I’ve been all in ever since. I’ve always been an outside hitter at heart, carrying that role all the way through my DII college career. After an injury, I made the switch to libero and now I’m bringing the same energy, just from a different spot on the court 🤪

If you ask my teammates, they’d probably tell you three things: 1. I truly love this game. Not just the strategy and fundamentals, but the relationships and memories that come with it 2. I’m big on feedback! That’s how we grow and get better And 3. I’m a utility player! Need a setter? I’ve got hands. Need an outside? I’ve got you.

More than anything, I’m passionate about helping people discover what they’re capable of on the court and in the gym. Confidence, consistency, and work ethic are everything to me. There’s so much power in pushing your limits, and I love being part of that journey ☺️

My approach to coaching is rooted in passion, adaptability, and growth. I believe volleyball is more than just skills and systems, it’s about the confidence you build, the resilience you develop, and the relationships you create along the way. Having experienced the game from multiple positions, I value versatility and encourage athletes to step outside their comfort zones to become more complete players. I’m a big believer in feedback. It’s one of the most powerful tools we have to improve. I create an environment where athletes feel supported, challenged, and motivated to keep getting better every day. Whether we’re focusing on fundamentals or pushing performance limits, consistency and work ethic are always the standard. Above all, I want every athlete I work with to discover their potential. There’s something special about realizing you’re capable of more than you thought, and I’m here to help guide that process with energy, accountability, and a genuine love for the game.

“She pushes you to be better every single session, but in a way that makes you believe in yourself instead of feeling overwhelmed. She doesn’t just tell you what to fix. She explains it, demonstrates it, and makes sure you actually understand how to improve. If you want a coach who truly cares, challenges you, and helps you realize what you’re capable of, Kelsey is the one!!!”
