Coach Aaron Austin is entering his third season at the helm of the Athens ISD volleyball program. In this episode, we discuss the growth of the program throughout the district and some of the steps Coach Austin is taking to make volleyball more mainstream in Athens.
"We've worked hard in the last couple of years to set a culture and an environment that's positive and so this year we've got a really good positive vibe," Coach Austin said.
The keyword for the Lady Hornet volleyball program is "grit."
"Grit is our goal," Coach Austin said. "It is the saying that's on the back of our shirts."
