Coach Tiffany McFarland
She has been coach for over 10 years. Her coaching style aims to teach life lessons as well as teaching the sport of volleyball. It’s important to build trust because we as coaches play the second most important role of influence in a child’s life.
She started playing volleyball and basketball in the 8th grade. After continuing through my high school career, she was awarded a scholarship to play volleyball at a JUCO in Maryland. In 2007, she started coaching at Warrensville Middle School. After gaining experience coaching, she then started her middle school coaching career at Beachwood Middle School. During her Beachwood coaching career, she made a few first school history moments and were very successful. The accolades I received was CVC Coach of the Year and News Herald Coach of the Year. The program received its first conference title, first sectional wins and District Runner Up. She is currently the head coach at Shaker Heights High School and 16s JO coach at DG Warriors.
In the summer of 2022, she started a training program with her fellow coach Donna. Her passion for the game is unmatched, she believes in instilling work ethic, commitment and dedication. The relationships that she has built with my athletes are very important.
Her job as a coach is to see the potential in my athletes and help push them to perform at their best no matter what even if they don’t see it.
