We continue working with club founders Fred Pramenko and Laura Leszczynski on ensuring club success!
I’ve been coaching at Wisconsin Premier for 3 years, and prior to that I lived in Texas where I coached for Junior Highlanders as well as beach volleyball. I’ve been playing volleyball my whole life – I played in various leagues up until having my son in 2019.
My coaching philosophy is that we all play a part in the success, or the failures, of the team. Each athlete has unique strengths and weaknesses. I believe the best players are the ones who can play to their strengths and can learn from their mistakes. I believe in developing basics in every player for every position because a player may not know what position they like best until they try it, and you never know what position a future team might need.
As a coach I continue to learn about the game throughout the year, and I encourage my players to do the same. They can learn a lot about watching high level teams – whether that be high school or college! It’s important to challenge our players to become the best versions of themselves both on and off the court.
I’ve been playing volleyball since 2nd grade and played competitively throughout all four years of high school!
I am going to be a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee pursuing a degree in Psychology. This will be my first year as an assistant coach with Wisconsin Premier – I’m excited to get involved in the volleyball community. Looking forward to a fun and successful season!
I played for Wisconsin Premier for 5 years, so I have been part of the Premier family for quite some time!
I recently graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and am pursuing a career in Physical Therapy. I am super excited to get back into volleyball and am looking forward to a successful season!
I’ve been coaching both club and high school volleyball since 2008! I’ve coached at various clubs in the area including Next Level VBC, 360 VBA, and Wisconsin Premier VBC. I was a JV coach at Nicolet High School and West Bend West. I’ve been playing volleyball since I was 12 years old – after high school I went on to play collegiately at Cardinal Stritch University. I enjoy sharing my passion for the sport with my two daughters by cheering on the Wisconsin Badgers volleyball team!
My coaching philosophy includes a balance of discipline and fun! I believe in creating stronger and more confident athletes. We will not only work on being elite athletes but also work on being better versions of ourselves as a whole – you have to be a good person longer than you have to be a good athlete!
My favorite part about coaching volleyball is watching our young athletes grow and succeed by applying skills they’ve been taught in practice to the game. It’s so rewarding, both for the coach, the player, and the families, to see that growth throughout the season. I love those moments when our athletes can say “I did it!”.
I’ve been with Wisconsin Premier since 2017. I also have coached high school teams at various levels for many years including: Freshman boys at Homestead HS for 6 years, Varsity boys asst. coach at Homestead HS for 7 years, JV girls asst. coach at Homestead HS – 1 year, and Varsity girls asst. coach at Whitnall HS for 1 year. My achievements include multiple conference championships as a freshman coach at Homestead High School.
My coaching philosophy is that having a good time while being respectful to others is paramount to a successful season. It’s just not as much fun if you’re not putting 100% effort into the game. I believe this is the most fun sport on the planet and the better you get, the more fun it is.
I am currently a freshman at Concordia University continuing both my athletic and academic career – I will be playing volleyball and pursuing a degree in Nursing. This will be my first year assistant coaching with Wisconsin Premier and I am super excited for this season! Outside of volleyball, I spend my time baking and hanging out with friends!
I have been playing volleyball since 5th grade and still play to this day! I played four years at Plymouth HS and went on to play at Concordia Wisconsin for four years, earning our programs first two berths to the NCAA DIII National Tournament and back to back undefeated conference championships during my junior and senior season, playing as a 6-rotation outside and serving as team captain. I began coaching club in 2014 and have been doing so ever since at various levels from 14s-18s and have coached at other clubs including Red Knights, 360 VBA, and Milwaukee Sting.
I am currently the assistant coach at Concordia University where I am in my fifth season there.
I spend a lot of my day in the volleyball world for work, but I am also the manager and a player (once I’m back from my recent knee injury) on the Milwaukee Mayhem Women’s VLA team, which is a semi pro volleyball team that just finished their first season back in May. We get to play against teams across the nation and usually do a showcase match during Badger Region Champs weekend so stay tuned or find our Instagram to check out the high level volleyball!
I fell in love with this game because of the lessons that come from it. It teaches teamwork, communication, hard work, and the importance of positivity. Fundamentals and technique are beyond important, but the main thing that is going to separate out one player from the next is the confidence they have in themselves as well as the confidence they can instill in their teammates. Having positive energy and constantly communicating is so important and goes a long way!! You’ll often hear me talk about the U-Rah-Rah during practice which is simply the ability to cheer on your teammates and build each other up, so everyone can play your best. Along with that, I’m a strategy junkie and love that side of the game – it’s like a chess match! Being able to explain reasoning and why a certain shot may work and when to use it as a hitter is so important, and that goes for each position in their own right!
I am currently a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and work as a CNA at Aurora Medical Center. In my free time I enjoy shopping and spending time with friends. I’ve been playing volleyball since I was little and have a passion for the sport! This will be my first year coaching club volleyball – I’m super excited for this season!
I am currently a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I have always been big into sports growing up and have always loved this sport, which is what led me to want to be a coach. This will be my first year assistant coaching with Wisconsin Premier – I’m looking forward to a great season and to all the things I can both teach and learn this season!
I have been assistant coaching at Wisconsin Premier for a few years. I played varsity volleyball all four years of high school and was on UW-Milwaukee’s Women’s Club Volleyball team during my time in college. Looking forward to a fun and successful season!
I am currently a sophomore at Concordia University where I am both a nursing student and a DS/Libero on the Women’s Volleyball team! I have been playing volleyball since I was 13 years old – I played varsity volleyball at Union Grove High School and received All-County Honorable Mention and 2nd Team All-County accolades as a setter. I previously played collegiately Viterbo University before transferring to CUW! This will be my first year coaching with Wisconsin Premier – looking forward to pursuing my passion for coaching this season!
I’ve been coaching with Premier since 2017. I previously coached with WVA Central 16’s team in 2016. I’ve taken 4 teams to the National Tournament, and had 2nd place finish at the National Qualifier. I played 4 seasons at Marian University as the starting setter all 4 years. Finished by ranking 2nd all-time in career assists, 9th all-time in career digs, and 5th all-time in service aces and was team captain her senior year. In high school, I played 4 years at University School of Milwaukee where I earned 1st team all-conference honors, MVP, was captain for 2 seasons, and conference player of the year my senior year. I enjoy traveling, camping, and visiting national parks, as well as hanging out with my family.
As a coach, I’m all about leveling up players beyond just the scoreboard. For me, it’s about the journey and growth, not just the win column. I want every player to trust their skills and swagger, and I’m here not just to teach the game, but to provide some life wisdom too. Bottom line: I’m in it to make sure everyone grows as a player and a person.
In addition to coaching at Premier, I am the JV coach at Germantown High School. I have been coaching volleyball for several years, including six years of club and four years of coaching JV2 at Nicolet High School. Volleyball has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember, and coaching has become one of the most fun and rewarding ways to stay connected to the sport.
My coaching style is pretty simple: I care about fundamentals, confidence, and effort. I push my players to get better every day, but I also want them to enjoy being in the gym and feel like they can be themselves. I’m big on communication, being a good teammate, and creating an environment where everyone feels supported and included. The thing I love most about coaching is watching players grow – seeing the hard work they put in at practice displayed during games, watching their confidence build, and seeing the team improve throughout the season. Those moments where something finally “clicks” for them are the reason I love doing this.
I’m currently a senior in high school at University School of Milwaukee and play on their varsity team. I have always had a passion for the sport since I first started playing, which has lead me to coaching. This will be my first year assistant coaching with Wisconsin Premier – I am super excited for this season!
