BORJA GONZÁLEZ VICENTE
VOLLEYBALL COACH
After many years of volleyball experience as a player (setter) and coach, my achievements demonstrate my strong desire to
succeed.

I look upon myself as an open person, not afraid of trying new experiences, and with a good ability
to adapt to different situations. I have already worked in Spain, Belgium, New Zealand, The Cook
Islands, Guam, and Iceland and I am willing to travel and work anywhere in the world.
I am a hard worker, energetic, and committed person. I have the capacity to prepare, adapt, and
develop programs for volleyball and beach volleyball teams to maximize the performance of the
players toward their respective goals.
