While she is not with the U.S. National Team program this summer, Scott-Arruda has not given up on her dream of competing in a record sixth Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. During her HPC Opening Ceremony keynote address, she told the audience of 91 U.S. and international teams competing in the HPC to follow their dreams.
“I haven’t retired,” said Scott-Arruda about her own dream of being in the 2016 Olympics at the age of 43. “However, this is an opportunity for me to get some coaching experience which I am interested when my volleyball career is over. I am glad to be a part of the HP program.”
In just her first season coaching elite athletes, she has already made a quick impact on the young athletes who dream of being Olympians just as she still does.
“We want to feed these kids a lot of information about technique and how they can be better about teamwork, communications,” Scott-Arruda said. “When we are seeing this happen in the match and get a win, it is wonderful.”
Scott-Arruda is seeing the game from a different viewpoint as a coach from her status as an elite player.
“Now I am on the opposite side as a coach,” Scott-Arruda said. “A lot of things you don’t think about as a player. How the drills are set up, the time you want to spend on each one. Scouting live and being able to give live information back to your players.”
