How to treat people, stay focused, strive for a common goal, communicate effectively, rebound after a loss, become a productive citizen, give back, multi-task and manage your time.
Those are a few of the lessons you can learn from playing volleyball, according to Teresa Kehe, who is beginning her first year as Linn-Mar’s head volleyball coach.
A member of the Iowa Girls Coaches Association Hall of Fame who has already achieved major success at both the high school and college levels, Kehe is returning to the prep ranks this fall to do the thing she loves best: Teach.
“We’re not about wins and losses,” she says. “We’re about development of the individual as well as the team, preparing them for future life.”
The chance to rebuild a Linn-Mar program that fell to the conference cellar last year is a homecoming of sorts for Kehe, who grew up in Cedar Rapids — as Teresa Langguth — and played on the inaugural Jefferson High School volleyball team from 1974 to 1977.
