	Coaching Experience	Playing Experience	Fav Volleyball Moment
	Sting United coach since 2018 More than 12 years of club coaching experience After college Heidi returned home to Iowa where she coached club for 3-5 years, high school for 1, and provided private lessons. During college Heidi would return home on breaks to help out and coach local teams.	Heidi's love and passion for the game of volleyball started at a young at with her mom being a head coach at local high school in her home town of Dubuque. Although she was always in the gym with a ball in hand during practice Heidi started competing at 10 years old and played all through high school. After high school Heidi continued her career at Wright State University in Dayton Ohio, where she started and played all 4 years as an outside.	A few of Heidi's favorite memories revolving around volleyball would be being able to play for my mom when I was younger, getting 3rd place and Junior Nationals with Six Pack, and fulfilling a dream of playing D1 volleyball. Outside of volleyball Heidi enjoys running Marathons!
