“I coached Sam for the first time when he was in

Grade 9,” says Panthers senior volleyball coach
Nicole Desjardins. “I noticed his talent right away
and took him on my junior team as a setter.
Now in Grade 12, Sam has grown into a towering
middle blocker for the SJ senior volleyball team.
He is an absolute joy to coach and a thrill to watch
play.”
Sam is the team’s best hitter and is gifted in all elements of the game, thanks to
his natural coordination and his foot speed. “He plays with integrity and leads
by example,” says Coach Desjardins. “He keeps his cool and stays positive
when things aren’t going well on the court.”
