Sam SolidayVolleyball, Maranatha Christian Academy and MAVSWhat was shared about Coach Soliday: He is building more than just a volleyball team; he is helping build a family. Coach Soliday brings people together through one common goal and makes them better people. He teaches us friendship, leadership, humility, and confidence. No player leaves the same as when they started and that is all because of his dedication to our team through years of consistent coaching and mentoring. The only reason we won a state title is because of his incredible passion and abilities. He makes each and every player feel cared for, and he makes sure that no matter what happens, we have our priorities set on more than just winning a game. He teaches life lessons like grit and resilience that will carry each player through different seasons of their life, on and off the court. He makes sure we have unity and prioritizes our spiritual life over any title or trophy. He is a fair coach who imprints unforgettable life lessons and lasting bonds between players and coaches. He not only invests in being a high school coach, club coach, and former police officer, but also strongly invests in being an incredible grandfather. He is a family man at heart, and he grows each girl that steps onto his court into a strong woman for Christ.
