Coaching Staff

Volleyball is a team sport. The players have to trust their teammates, and coaches in everything they do. Working together is the key to a successful season. We are focused on preparing the team for success in competition, at the same time, we work with each individual to help her become the best volleyball player they can be.  No individual is more important than the team.

Volleyball is more than a sport.  It is an opportunity to master important life skills.  In the process of becoming a successful player, an athlete must develop and demonstrate -- among other things -- self-discipline, responsibility, self-confidence, goal setting, accountability, teamwork, positive support and an appreciation of the value of hard work.  It is hoped the athletes will use these skills to make a positive contribution to their family, school and community.

The Northern High School Volleyball team coaching staff feels strongly that every human being deserves to be treated with respect and dignity at all times.  As such, we will work hard to seek excellence in matches by creating a positive environment that is challenging and rewarding for each athlete and the team. 

 The Northern volleyball program endeavors to create an environment in which it is rewarding to train with intensity. It’s about setting goals, formulating a plan to attain those goals and achieving them through hard work. Coach Gaido expect her players to take a serious view of how academics and athletics work in conjunction with each other, and of the importance in finding a balance in both aspects of student life. Coach Gaido believes that those players who are succeeding in the classroom are more clearly minded to fully focus on the volleyball court, and are therefore the players who are consistently giving 100% plus. As a consequence those players who live by this doctrine ultimately reap the benefits, providing the program with boundless possibilities
