About Coach Dawn
I’m Dawn Redd and I’m a coach. I believe in the power of sport to teach winning and losing with grace, to inspire its participants to excel, and to create a common goal for the greater good.
Currently I’m the head volleyball and assistant track & field coach at Beloit College. Our volleyball team has made it to our conference tournament each of the years that I’ve been here, gone 24-6 last season, and I’ve been named conference coach of the year. I’ve also coached at the high school, club, Division I and III levels…taking my first collegiate head coaching job at age 24 with the University of Rochester. After playing volleyball at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I accepted a coaching internship working with the men’s and women’s teams at Princeton University and I’ve been coaching (and learning!) ever since.
This blog will be a place to discuss coaching techniques and a space for us to make each other better at our craft. Enjoy!
