Before relocating to Perth with his family and joining LUVC, Troy had coached with Durham Attack, one of Canada’s premiere volleyball clubs, for over 15 years. There, he coached various age groups from 12U to 18U, including house leagues, specialized developmental camps, private performance camps, mental strength development camps, and off-court physical training sessions for both men’s and women’s programs. Troy’s focus had been 17-18u programs and preparing players for post secondary opportunities. Many players coached by Troy have played on post secondary teams or semi professionally, but more importantly many have gone on to coach themselves for love of the game and have become volleyball players for life!

Troy has also participated in numerous technical developmental workshops for coaches, collaborating with some of Canada’s most influential trainers like Dustin Reid (TMU), Dwayne Cochrane (DC), and Ian Ibbit (BrockU). He has had the privilege of collaborating on club programs like the Cognitive Coach, with Professional Sports Psychologists and Certified Mental Performance PHDs Kyle Paquette and Brenley Shapiro, who both train mental toughness and VMR with professional and Olympic athletes across various sports including organizations like Curling Canada and Arizona Coyotes.

In addition to comprehensive volleyball motor development, Troy integrates significant training cues in his programs to help players elevate their performance through mental strength, resilience development, and VMR. Two of his favorite expressions are “Play without fear” and “Play for yourself.”
