FAQ

OUR COACH: PETER BRISTOTTE

Coach Peter (born and raised in Campinas, Sao Paulo - Brazil) led numerous young athletes to the highest possible level in his home country: several of his former players became pro athletes, a few others have played for the Brazilian National Youth and Adult teams (and won several international competitions, such as one VNL finalists, Olympics Qualifying Champions, Youth World Championship and a few Youth Pan-American Championships) and many others have been granted scholarships to play volleyball in colleges and universities in the US.
 
Considered a strategist by his fellow coaches, Peter has the cool, calculating mind of a chess player regarding the development of both offensive and defensive tactics. He also devotes considerable amount of time on improving his athletes' fundamentals regardless of the age or level of play. If you enter the gym while he runs his practices you will see that a meticulous plan was made and athletes will be focusing a lot on ball control during the drills, working hard during conditioning sessions, and that they are a tough minded team. All of this is key to build a cohesive team and a strong-minded athlete.
 
Coach Peter developed his career with young athletes, but he also has the expertise to work with adult teams as well. Our club director has the knowledge, the expertise, and the experience to help us to develop one of the strongest programs in VA.
 
Here are some of his credentials
 
- Volleyball Coach since 2005; 
- MS in Sports Sciences, specializing in Volleyball Training;
- MS in Sports Biochemistry, Physiology, Training and Nutrition;
- BS, summa cum laude, in Exercise and Sports Sciences (1st in the class of 2008) ;
