Team Spike Key

Team Spike Key
http://www.spikekey.com/ is the women’s beach
volleyball team that I work with.
It has been great working with these women. They started training last November
with the goal of playing their way onto the AVP Crocs pro tour. They have
achieved their goal. They are now on the tour. They have worked very hard, and
made significant improvements in all their physical capacities. Both are local
girls, Megan Wallin graduated from Cardinal Money High where she was All State
in Volleyball and state champion in the high jump. Kristin Batt graduated from
Venice High School where she led the team to a state championship and was Gatorade player of the year her senior year. Megan graduated from Michigan State and
Kristin from University of Kentucky. I really believe with their work ethic and
talent over the next couple of years they will make a big breakthrough. The
first breakthrough they have to make is to get past the number one seed in the
AVP, the number one team in the world Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh. As the
last seed they have to play the first seed in the tournament. Tough assignment but
they are making progress, with May-Treanor and Walsh off to the
Olympics that
should provide with a  chance to improve their seeding. It has been fun and challenging designing their training taking into consideration the different demands of beach volleyball.
