Thankful Thursday: Chad Gordon

Thankful Thursday!

Today we highlight Chad Gordon who has been a part of Bay to Bay for nearly two decades as both a player and now a coach. Chad bounced between 1's and 2's teams at Bay to Bay while attending The Harker School (go Eagles) and became the starting setter on one of the most talented teams Bay to Bay has ever produced (including National Team member Taylor Averill and longtime pro Brian Cook).

No matter where Chad went, whether it be coaching at UCSB or Illinois, he always found time to return back to Bay to Bay when he was home. Ever since work brought him back to the Bay Area, Chad has been a continual force for improvement within our coaching staff. Here are some of the things Chad has helped push forward within our club:

📈 VolleyMetrics video analysis for our eldest teams
📘 The Bay to Bay coaches handbook
🏐 Coaching at weekly skills practices
🏖 Beach club as coach Alex Jones's right hand man (and baby court specialist)
🎞 Weekly Film Review sessions breaking down the top performers in the world

His passion for the game, dedication to his teams, and unique ability to "zig" when others "zag" are what make Chad so unique. Most importantly, Chad is always willing to sit down, have a drink, and talk volleyball.

Thanks for sharing your passion with the young men at Bay to Bay coach Chad!
