Coaches Highlight: Taylor Rivera

As a volleyball player during my high school and college years, I learned many valuable life lessons that have made me the person I am today.  In college I was a member of FCA and it helped me build stronger, more reliable relationships with trustworthy adults that guided my path. And now as a coach at Pittsford Sutherland, I want to be available for God to use me this way in the lives of others.

I am fairly new to FCA from a coaching standpoint, yet even as a new member my voice and participation is valued. FCA has provided me with a new network of people that help support me so I can support my athletes in return.  From my first zoom meeting with other local coaches I felt like there was an instant connection. Their passion for Christ and for our athletes feeds my soul so I can feed into others! I did not know what to expect, but I am grateful for this community I now have.

I coach to impact the next generation athletically, academically, personally, and spiritually. The most rewarding part of coaching is watching young athletes grow into strong, independent young women, ready to take on the world! I have a deep desire for my legacy to tell a story about a coach that loved people and cared about them as a whole package, not just as a volleyball player. I pray that the players on my team know that they are more than just another athlete: they are family. I am excited to see the plans God has in store for our family!
