Volleyball Coaches Association NJCAA Midwest Coach of the 2006 Creighton Volleyball 6 Q&A With Coach Booth

What are your goals as a coach and for the kids in your program? I think there are three main goals. Our first goal is to develop people and make sure that they are a better person when they graduate than when they came in. It comes down to the philosophy of developing work ethic, teamwork and dedication. Second, I want the players to enjoy the expe- rience and leave Creighton volleyball loving the game. I think too often in college athletics play- ers are burned out by the end. I think you can work hard, be passionate and demand a lot but still do it with the love of the game in mind. I’d be remiss if I didn’t say that my other goal was to win. I think doing things correctly and in an ethical way can still be done in a winning manner in Division I college athletics. That is our focus here at Creighton. How is it like a family once your players get When it’s 13-13 or 28-28, instead of being here? nervous we remind our players that we’ve How much do you emphasize graduating and When we recruit, we recruit kids that we feel worked so hard for this type of opportunity and academics? confident are good people.

2006 Creighton Volleyball 23 Life As A Bluejay MEMORIES. It’s what the college experience is all about. Being a part of the Creighton Volleyball program gives the Bluejay players a lifetime full of memories, both on and off the court. The 2005 team went to San Diego, Calif., where it enjoyed a few days shopping and visiting the beach while also winning the San Diego State Invitational (photos on next page). The entire team was present for the Fourth Annual Creighton Volleyball Golf Outing, held each May at Indian Creek Golf Course (below). Most of the team was on hand when assistant coach Angie Oxley Behrens got married in June (right). But there’s more to life than volleyball. Girls that entered as 18- year old freshmen graduate four years later as mature 22-year old women (next page). They become successful pharmacists, nurses, housewives and businesswomen. They become leaders. Most importantly, they are teammates, now and forever. Paul Giesselmann and Kirsten Bernthal Booth posed for a pic- ture with Angie Oxley Behrens on her wedding day.

Members of the program at the golf outing included (from left to right): Emily Greisch, Jessica Houts, Julianne Jackson, Kristi Woodard, Angie Janis, Abby Baumann, Kelly Goc, Korie Lebeda and Katie Mehal.

2006 Creighton Volleyball 25 Alumni Memories Jaden Custer (2000-03) Creighton Degree: 2006 Doctorate in Pharmacy Current Job: Pharmacist at Walgreens Current Location: Alamosa, Colorado

“My time as a Creighton Volleyball player holds the majority of my best college memories. The relationships I built with my teammates and coaches helped me to develop into the person I am today. Without my volley- ball scholarship, I would not have been able to attend Creighton where I received an awesome education and a degree of which I am very proud. “Throughout my time as a Jay, I learned many life lessons and ways of dealing well with everyday stress- es. Being a volleyball team member taught me incredi- ble time management skills, multi-tasking and how to deal with stressful situations.”

Janeen Piller (2001-04) Creighton Degree: 2005 Exercise Science Current Job: Attending Physician Assistant School at University of Nebraska Medical Center Current Location: Omaha, Nebraska

“My college career at Creighton was more than I could have dreamed for. The athletic program as a whole was a second family to me. The support I received from the staff and my teammates was something I will never for- get. I feel so privileged to have been coached by such an amazing coaching staff and have formed friendships that will last forever. “The sky is the limit for the future Creighton Volleyball girls. The coaching staff has done an excel- lent job building a foundation and bringing in exception- al athletes that will continue to help the program reach the top level.”

Leah Ratzlaff (2002-05) Creighton Degree: 2006 in Psychology Currently: Starting law school at Creighton this fall

“I had never even heard of Creighton when I was recruited, and now I can't imagine my life without Creighton volleyball. Being part of this program created some of the best memo- ries I will ever have and also introduced me to some amaz- ing people that I know I will be friends with for the rest of my life. “The team is going to be making some huge strides this season and in the next few years. The NCAA tournament is definitely within their reach. I'm just glad I'll be able to say I was there to help build the foundation and get it all started. “I truly feel that playing volleyball has made me the per- son I am today. Not only did it take some qualities I already had and improve on them, like competitiveness and deter- mination, but being part of this program also helped me develop new skills, like leadership and time management, that will be equally as valuable in the future.” 2006 Creighton Volleyball 26 2005 Recap

The 2005 Creighton Volleyball team finished 16-14, including a 10-8 Missouri Valley Conference mark, during a memorable season that left the fans dreaming of the promise the future holds. Though that team graduated three key seniors, the continued development of three freshmen on the 2005 team and a top-notch recruiting class should help keep the Bluejays in the upper division of the MVC for years to come. Creighton opened the year by hosting the Bluejay Invitational, its first home tournament since 1997. Creighton won its lid-lifter for the sec- ond-straight year, dispatching Northern Colorado in a three-game sweep. Iowa State would win the tournament with a victory over both opponents.
