"Hi Coach Houser! I was hoping to ask a favor... I would like to be able to come and watch a camp of yours so I could get the chance to observe new drills and things. I just got the head coaching position at [X] College & I feel a little rusty in that area and would love to come watch and learn from you and your coaches. Do you think something like that would be okay? I would appreciate it very much!"

"I really appreciate how much you care and actually take the time to find out how we're doing and you're always so encouraging! Thank you so much, it means so much to me. And I honestly feel like if I hadn't went to your camp this past summer that I'd be sitting on the bench this season instead of playing. So thank you for everything."

"I wanted to pass on that Emma loved High Expectations! She said it was the best camp she has ever attended, and as a parent the organization is phenominal. It was worth losing 3 days of my vacation. Thanks for everything."

"Erin had a great time at the Max Camp and was grateful for the opportunity to go. The amount of coaching experience and knowledge combined at this camp was awesome! Kudos to Coach Willis for his exceptional motivation and encouragement! I heard the food was very good as well as the accommodations for the overnight campers. Erin is already looking forward to coming back next year. :)

"Lots of dfferent levels of players at the university camp that we're at today. Its fine, just expected higher level of players to challenge my daughter. I'm finding out that the university camps do some things well....but YOUR camps have different goals and do most things much better!!"

she is so looking forward to this year's camp too.

High
Expectations was an incredible experience for my
daughter. She had an opportunity to learn so much from numerous
college coaches. I was particularly impressed with the classroom
education provided about college volleyball opportunities. My
husband had a great conversation with her following camp pertaining
to exercise. He later commented to me that she had been introduced
to topics in your camp that he had studied in college!! You are
blessed with a unique talent of blending volleyball skills,
education, and FUN to create the perfect cocktail! She is all ready
looking forward to attending HE (and possibly ME) next year.

"Wanted to let you know that my daughter went on a very important and impressive serving run last night. Although the team ended up losing the 3rd set tiebreaker, she entered the game specifically to serve with her team behind 18-22 in the second set. She proceeded to go on a very impressive 5 point run that ultimately led us to a 2nd set win. Thanks again for teaching her both volleyball and life skills."

We all walked into the gym this morning and knew it wasn't
going to be the same without you guys back this summer. We miss all of you so
much and wish you guys were up here again. :( We're
not laughing or anything. Just wanted to let you know that
we're all thinking of you guys. Some of us have already called Devyn
and Sam because we miss steal the bacon, and "DEAL?" "PICKLE!" and
all of the little things, especially taking notes in the hallway as
we talk about our lives that bring us together with the great game
of volleyball. After we stretch at the end of the day, us
seniors bring the team together in our huddle and do your infamous
"TOGETHER WE CAN." And we'll never forget what you've taught
us about ourselves to make a team.

I just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with the VIP last night with Devyn and today's Rising Stars Camp. This is Olivia's 1st time really ever
playing volleyball and she is just so excited. I thought maybe
this might be a sport that builds her young spirit up and brings out
her passion for a sport. The last 2 days of her spending time with
your organization has really excited her. I just wanted to tell you
that you have done a really great job with this game of volleyball
for these girls. I'm just so impressed and Devyn is a gem.
Really Great!!!!

The High Expectations camp i went to at VES was definitely the most
helpful camp Ive been to all summer. I got in lots of reps and the
amount of knowledgeable coaches there allowed a lot more attention
to be focused on individual players.

"I've learned a lot this week, but the most important things that i
learned (or rather been relearned) was the fact that team comes way
before me and so whatever my coach does I'm sure he will be doing it
for the benefit of the team and that's great. Thanks!"

"I just had email with some cool news! The encouraging coaching techniques, drills, and all that you have taught have reached the ends of the earth!!!!! We traveled to one of the farthest and most remote islands in Indonesia. I was able to teach the smaller children proper passing, setting, and hitting form (they call hitting “smash” here!) They were so excited when they did well and smiled the entire time! I just had to email you and let you know how much of an impact you were having on the people here! All of the time and knowledge and positive, encouraging attitude you have poured into me for so many years is now being poured into people who also love the game of volleyball. "

The team has
grown so much! In fact Sunday we have a team pool
party! We have continued having "Captain Of The Day". On
game days it is seniors and practices it is underclassmen. I
really like this idea you shared with us this summer. Our
captains the past two matches have made us cute ribbons for
our hair with our name and number, and a ribbon for our
shoes with our number and initial, and cookies! :) I
can not wait for you to come watch us play! I miss you guys!

Emily had a
great time at TCS last summer and your style of coaching the
girls is awesome!!!!
Your enthusiasm shows on the court and I want to let you
know how much Emily values what you tell her. I
wanted to tell you---- We stayed to watch your team at RVC
-- they
are something else !!!!
Thanks for all you do !

Thanks to you and your team of coaches for doing an AWESOME job at TCS
this past week. My daughter is a rising 6th grader and had such an
incredible time. She has never been one to enjoy athletics so we
were a bit skeptical about putting her in this camp. She was excited
everyday after camp and enthusiastic about returning each morning. We
were thrilled for her and thank you and your coaches so much for making
this a fun and enjoyable time. She grew and learned so much in that
short amount of time. We have been so proud of her progress and happy
that she found a sport she enjoys (much to the credit of your
coaches...she loved them)!

My daughter Felisha was at your High Expectations Camp at JFHS.
It was the best camp she had ever attended. After we left you, she
went to James Madison University for a hitter camp, then to Va Tech for
their Specialty Camp and a team skills camp. None compared to the
fundamentals that you instilled in her. She grew from the things
you guys taught her. And she got the hitter position on her school
team that she tried out for against against a lot of talented girls, and
is a hitter on her varsity team. We couldn't have done it w/o you!

"You can go to a big university
camp and spend $500 and just play a bunch a games. To get
the kind of instruction that STAR camps give your players is
a total bargain."

player was a focus. That’s why you are so great."

"Thank you for once again making the camp such a memorable
experience for her. You have such a wonderful way of
encouraging each of them! Daphne thinks you are the
best coach ever. :)"

"I was told my approach was perfect by our JV coach and i
definitely knew it was because of your camps. She played
high school and college (D2). When I asked her for
help, she told me my approach was perfect, that I was one of
the few girls who brings both arms up, etc.

We all walked into the gym the first morning of camp at nine
am, and
knew it wasn't going to be the same without you guys here this
summer. We miss all of
you so much and can't believe coach didn't call you guys back to
come back up here again. :( It's not that
the man brought in isn't a good
coach or that he doesn't know what he's doing, because he sure does,
but he just doesn't get involved with us. It's like he barely knows our
names and just seems to be treating us as another camp for a pay
check or something.
