When her career as a player ended, Coach Deene began coaching and continued for the last 8 years. Most of that time spent in Delaware but she did venture off to Louisiana for one season. She started coaching volleyball while she was the Sports Coordinator at a local YMCA. Her main mission was to grow the volleyball program throughout her community with youth and adult programs.

Coach Deene’s coaching philosophy can be summed up with 3 words: head, heart, & hustle. She believes a player must be able to execute mentally as well as physically, have passion during inside them, as well as a drive to compete/win, and without a doubt, hustle always. Coach Deene believes solid teamwork is the backbone to all successful teams. She believes in the winning together, losing together, learning together and most importantly growing together. She believes all great teams build great chemistry on and off the court. Coach Deene states “if you push yourself on and off the court, hold yourself accountable for learning from your mistakes and errors, you will be successful, in all aspects, not just volleyball.”
