What People Are Saying About Coach Kim 

"Kim saw the potential I had as a player way before I did. I had her as my 17U coach for club and if you had to ask me who was my favorite coach from my high school career, I don’t have to think twice before saying it was Coach Kim. I was not what some would say a “valuable player” before she coached me. She made me a better player because she saw the potential I had and seeing someone truly believe in me made me work harder than I ever have before. She made me confident in my playing skills and which instantly lead me to becoming a leader on the court. I don’t think I’ve ever worked harder for a coach, and ultimately, myself."

"I had the pleasure of having Kim Adams as a coach throughout my time playing club volleyball. Her passion for the game and dedication to helping each one of her players improve truly set her apart from others. Kim has an energy that immediately impacts everyone in the gym. She runs practices with high energy, and her love of volleyball is evident. She holds her players to a high standard but provides them with individualized and constructive feedback to achieve it. I always knew that Coach Kim would push me hard in practice, but this instilled a sense of confidence in me that she believed I could perform at a high level. She knows the game of volleyball extraordinarily well. She provides technical, skill-focused feedback to players, as well as strategic feedback come game time. Her success as a coach is reflected in the numerous players, including myself, who have gone on to have successful college volleyball careers. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to play for Coach Kim."

“Coach Kim has been nothing short of transformational for Logan Brooke (@LBrookeVB). In just a short time, I’ve watched my daughter grow in ways I once only hoped for, not only in her volleyball skills, but in her confidence, leadership, and love for the game. Kim doesn’t just teach technique; she teaches mindset, resilience, and belief. She has a gift for seeing potential that athletes can’t yet see in themselves, and then drawing it out with patience, encouragement, and high expectations.

From Logan Brooke: ‘Coach Kim helped me find my voice as a leader on the court and reminded me that I am capable of more than I ever imagined. She pushes me, believes in me, and makes me love the game even deeper.’

As a parent, there is nothing more powerful than watching your child step into her own strength. That’s what Coach Kim has given us and why we are so grateful she’s in Logan Brooke’s life. She’s not only shaping stronger athletes, she’s shaping stronger young women ready to take on the world.🫶🏾🏐🫶🏾

"My name is Morgan Ritchie, and volleyball has been a central part of my life since I started playing at the age of 11. Over the years, I've had the privilege of developing my skills through club volleyball and went on to have a successful collegiate career playing Division II volleyball. During my time at Thomas Jefferson University, I helped lead my team to two

conference championships and multiple NCAA tournament appearances. In 2023, I was honored to be named Team MVP and earned the title of Conference Player of the Year.

​

Throughout my journey, I’ve played under a wide range of coaches across multiple clubs,

each bringing their own style and perspective to the game. I believe that learning from different coaching styles is one of the best ways to grow as a player—it sharpens your volleyball IQ, helps you adapt, and broadens your understanding of the game.

​

One coach who had a significant impact on my development is Kim Adams. I was fortunate to

train under her for three years leading up to my collegiate career. At that point, I had a solid

foundation of skills, but Kim helped me build on them in a meaningful way. The word that best describes her as a coach is “passionate.” She brings unmatched energy and dedication to helping her athletes succeed. Kim goes above and beyond—whether it's breaking down film, running one-on-one sessions, or reinforcing the fundamentals day in and day out. She truly believes in the power of consistent, focused practice and pushes her players to think critically about their

game.

​

What sets Kim apart is that she never gives up on her players. She’s deeply invested in

their growth, both on and off the court. Her love for the game mirrors my own, and that shared passion made a huge difference in my development. I credit much of my success to her guidance, and I wouldn’t be the player I am today without her."

"I always tell people “Coach Kim taught my daughter how to hit”. And wow, can she hit! Jaslyn has played under Kim for four years either as a coach or director and she has been an integral part of her volleyball success. She is a four-year high school varsity player with All-State honors.

Once Jaslyn lost her starting position to a more experienced and better player. Kim urged my daughter to fight for it and earn her spot back and she did! Coach Kim helps not only with volleyball mechanics but also with the grit and emotional strength needed to succeed."

"My daughter Mia made a switch from primarily being a basketball player to playing volleyball two years ago.   

During that time, she has worked with various coaches in different settings in order to help improve her game and especially her technique.

Mia clicked instantly with Kim and her approach and she looks forward to each opportunity she gets to work with Coach Kim! As a parent, it's so refreshing to be able to drop athlete off and not worry about a thing while working with another coach. The most amazing thing is even after a long day of playing, Mia will ask if Coach Kim has anything going on tonight or tomorrow.

Coach Kim offers an old-school type of coaching with a modern flair.  Not only does she have years of experience with a solid knowledge base, she's personable and able to help athletes see and bring out the best in them. She always holds Mia to a higher standing, but not an unrealistic one. And is phenomenal in her ability to help break down technique while helping Mia work out the reasons why x or y happened. 

Since she's worked with kim I've seen her confidence and court IQ  grow and her level of play excel whether she's on the court or on the beach. 

This is apparent not only to me, but to other parents and coaches who have often commented on her level of play and have said that it's obvious that she's had great coaching!"

​

"My name is Mia Skowronski. Coach Kim has taught me so much as a player and a leader on and off the court. She always gives positive feedback when I'm successful. When I'm having a hard time with doing something, she'll help me help me try to figure out what I did wrong and how to correct it without making me feel stupid or badly. She's so much fun to work with, but always makes you work hard.  She pushes me to be the best athlete and volleyball player. I could be in order to help me achieve my goals."

"Coach Kim is absolutely amazing. 2 years ago we started private lessons with her and the progress she made with my daughter was beyond expectations. At the time my daughter was 15 and lost her libero spot with her club team and was getting little play time and not getting much feedback from her coach on how to improve.

We tried private lessons with other coaches but were not getting results as nobody was telling my daughter what she was doing wrong. Finally a friend recommended coach Kim to us and within the  first 30 minutes was able to spot what my daughter was doing wrong. She showed her how her stance and positioning was incorrect and custom tailored the rest of the lesson to help her improve. We were happy to finally find a coach that was able to help my daughter and after just a few lessons we noticed a HUGE improvement in her game. The past 2 years we kept coming back for lessons in the off season and she reevaluates my daughters progress  to see how she can improve and pushes her to her limit. This year my daughter made a national club team, something i never thought would happen.

Coach Kim truly cares about the girls she trains, when I watch the group lessons,  I notice she will take the time to figure out how to improve each girl and tailor the lesson to best suite their needs and not just run generic drills. Most importantly my daughter loves coach Kim, she feels comfortable with her, and loves the feedback and tips to work on at home that she gives after every lesson. Her personality is bubbly and lights up the gym! The lessons are a well balance between fun and pushing them and my daughter is excited for every lesson."

 "As a family, our hopes were for our athletes not only to do well, but also to thrive in an environment that did not break them.  We were on a mission, a search for a growing and learning  environment that would “push” them enough to bring out their best abilities. 

So together we  went searching for that balance, one that would safely propel them as volleyball players and athletes to the next level of play.  

We met a lot of great coaches to whom we are still very much grateful, but somewhere in the middle of our search WE MET Coach Kim! What a difference! We experienced a unique type of coaching where time, dedication and passion delivered results and  my athletes were unrecognizable. Everything got better not to mention their skills, their confidence, their desire to become better players and their desire to shine!

Coach Kim has an innate and unique ability to build, discover and uncover talents and gifts some  athletes do not even know they have! She is full of energy, and unapologetically passionate about volleyball.  More importantly she creates a supportive and challenging environment that can only move athletes in an upward direction.                                  

We are so grateful for the role she continues to play in our journey."

"Kim coached me for 2 years and she is absolutely incredible. She always coaches with a positive attitude, which always made our team excited to go to practice and tournaments. Coach Kim is also very enthusiastic about teaching her athletes not only skills, but also volleyball IQ. I started playing for Kim after a not so great experience on a previous team, and she brought back my confidence in myself and my love for the game. Any athlete on her team is incredibly lucky to have Coach Kim."

“Coach Kim is hands-down the best volleyball coach I’ve met. She knows exactly what she’s talking about, and her advice always yields strong results. I started volleyball at an older age than most, and Coach Kim helped me get to speed with the other offensive players with only a few private sessions. I cannot thank her enough!” 

​

"I just wanted to let you know that I made Varsity and just had my first practice this morning. Thank you of working with me, encouraging me, as well as teaching me some of the fundamentals I lacked. My new skills set not only helped me to be a better player, it also helped me to make the team and for that I'm so appreciative." 

"Coach Kim began coaching my daughter when she was 10 years old and has been the most impactful coach she’s had throughout her volleyball career.  Coach Kim’s knowledge of the fundamentals of volleyball are matched only by her passion for the game and desire to see real, measurable improvement in the young women she coaches.

Coach Kim has a unique gift for breaking down technical skills in a way that makes players truly understand and excel.

I’m so grateful for her mentorship and leadership through the years we’ve known her."

"I watched my daughter play this weekend and all the work she's going with you is really helping! It's not just the hitting thought... I can see a change in her mindset that she didn't have last year. Again, thank you for being a great coach! When you come from a really crappy coaching to excellent coaching all around... I have so much gratitude."

"Coach Kim creates an environment where athletes feel supported,  challenged in their skill development, and motivated to succeed. Under Coach Kim my daughter has grown significantly in her confidence and skills on the court."

"Coach Kim believes in me and pushes me to get better. She demonstrates and explains skills in a fun way that make sense. I feel myself getting better every time she works with me." 

"Coach Kim absolutely helped me grow my confidence and pushed me to be my best self. I loved the high expectations you had for us, it pushed me to be my best.  I loved her consistency, she was always  ready and locked in which helped me build respect for her!"

"Hey Coach Kim, I was just thinking about the best coaches that I've had and you were definitely mine! Thank you for being that person and teaching me what I know!

"I made varsity, and I wanted to thank you so much for the work we did a few weeks ago. I felt very confident in every hit, and I was able to apply all of the foot work, arm loading, and driving up into the air in my routine. You’ve helped me to improve every piece of my form.  It has been so beneficial working with you, and I just wanted to thank you again for all the help you’ve given me! "

"Thank you so much for last night's lesson. My daughter left feeling the most positive and excited about the upcoming season as I have seen her in a long time...Seeing her this excited for volleyball again makes my heart melt.... I truly appreciate all the you do to find the right fit for each girl."
