Makenzie Walck

Head Coach - 17 Onyx

Coach Mak started playing volleyball freshman year of high school and quickly joined a club team that same winter. She played for a small club in Pennsylvania with a similar dynamic as Precision Athletics, so PAV feels home to her. She then went to Lebanon Valley College to play and earn a degree in Psychology and Global Studies. After graduation she returned home to be the assistant coach of her high school team, Jim Thorpe. In June of 2020, Mak moved to North Carolina to start her journey as a teacher and to be the head coach at Olympic High School. Connecting with PAV was pure serendipity but she is looking forward to the future with this new family and all of the athletes.

Coach “Sensei” David grew up in Southern California and fell in love with volleyball in 7th Grade and has played ever since. He was asked to help the Girls HS Team while a Junior and quickly gained a passion for the coaching side of the game. His “other hobby” became playing outdoors, mostly at a local beach! He played a year at a local Community College, then was hired as the Girls Varsity coach at his High School three years later. While in CA, he helped start a Club program and coached both Girls and Boys HS Teams for over 12 years. He also contracted as a shooter and editor for a Recruiting Services company for 15 years. Upon moving to Lake Norman in 2003, he served as Lead Advisor for the LKN VB Club for two years, where he met David Kounlamith. The two kept in touch over the years, and it was a dream come true to partner with PAVC! Sensei’s goal is to encourage every player he comes in contact with.

Michael is ecstatic to be coaching for his second season at PAV and can't wait to bring out the best of his players!
