Coach Houser,
Thank you so much for offering me your help. Just telling me to get both arms up, one small little difference, made a huge difference in the outcome. I find myself thoroughly excited to be progressing with each new technique or skill learned. I may not be a great player yet, but I will be. I need help getting there and I am so glad that you came to help and that I was able to attend this camp.  If I do not play D1 ball it will be because I am simply not good enough, not because I didn't give one-hundred percent of my time and effort and ability. Please, if you see me making a mistake over and over again, pull me aside and tell me what I am doing wrong. Each time you help me, I understand more clearly what I am supposed to do to improve my game and increase the confidence my teammates and I have in myself.  Each time I will be progressively getting better and if I fix things now and correctly, that's just one step closer I get to playing to my full potential. I thank you greatly for coming and being here to increase the school's team and ability to play together.
 


Coach Houser, you are one special coach. I've had coaches before who did not care about our team very much and it's unity and spirit. I've also had coaches who could not teach us anything about volleyball. You do both!
 


Hey Coach Houser, I didn’t get a chance to talk to you after camp was done but I just wanted to let you know what an amazing coach and person I think you are. You really have taught me more about skills and team unity than any other coach I’ve had and I just wanted to show my appreciation.
 


I just wanted to give you a quick email thanking you for your time and support during the camp. I started my high school conditioning last night with our new coach and she was very impressed with my steady platform. =). I enjoyed your camp and I learned a lot of very valuable things from it. I hope to attend your camp next year as well.
 


Thank you, Coach Houser, for your coaching expertise! [My daughter] enjoyed camp this past week and of course, enjoyed you and your staff. She always learns so much as she walks away from these camps each year. She mentioned to me how much she'll miss all of the coaches. Thanks for always encouraging and motivating [my daughter] to be the best she can be. She enjoys your sense of humor as well. You make volleyball FUN!  Thanks again and I hope you do the High Expectations Camp again next year. I'm glad it was a success. Have a wonderful summer.
 


Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for camp this week. I know it took a lot of time and effort to plan everything. I learned a lot and I am sure that the other girls too. I hope you will be coming again next year and the other coaches too, they were great. I'll be at star camp next week too, and I am sure it will be fun.
 


Coach Houser!  I meant to email you earlier, but I took the opportunity to just reply to the one you sent to everyone instead. I wanted to say thank you so much for yet another great week at camp with you! I'm so glad I came. I really appreciate the opportunity to be challenged and to learn new skills at a higher level with skilled girls. I worked hard and I plan to take the skills I learned through the next season.  Everything you teach me about team and effort means a lot. Thank you very much for reassuring me about what is the most important. I hope to see you during the season, and, if not then, next summer!
