I am Coach Julian and I have been coaching club volleyball in Texas for 5–6 years, beginning with girls’ teams before finding my way to boys’ volleyball at AJV last season. Growing up in Puerto Rico, I played from a young age, training under some of the island’s top coaches as a member of the U17 Puerto Rico National Team and competing in 3-4 years of club and high school volleyball. This earned me a scholarship to play four years of NAIA collegiate volleyball where I played Middle/ Right side.

After college, I took time away from the game to recover my body and mind by exploring new passions like surfing. Ultimately, my love for volleyball called me back, this time as a coach eager to give back to the sport that shaped and granted me great opportunities that otherwise would have not existed. Today, I strive to help young athletes grow in skill, confidence, and character while contributing to the expansion and growth of boys’ volleyball.
