Henderson becomes new volleyball head coach
The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams volleyball team has a new head coach.
Andi Henderson, from Swansboro, N.C., was an assistant at Catawba College for three seasons and helped the program produce five all-conference players.
Prior to joining the staff at Catawba, Henderson spent three seasons at Greensboro College. Her inaugural season at WSSU is her first as a Head Coach in college volleyball.
Henderson had a stellar career at Catawba. She set the school record for assists in a match and career assists.
Henderson said she doesn't care that this is her first season as a head coach. She has high expectations for the team.
"I want to win the first CIAA conference championship in school history," Henderson said. She also said she expects the players to work hard every day in practice and in the classroom.
She said that inexperience and injuries may cause problems this year.
"Our girls just have not played a lot of volleyball."
Henderson said she really enjoys her team.
"They are a good group of girls to be around, have good personalities and really want to win. There is no pressure on us. We just need to treat every day the same, no matter win, lose or draw. We can only go up."
Henderson said she chose WSSU because she saw the potential and felt the program needed to take off.
"It was a win-win situation."
Katelyn Sigala, a senior healthcare management major from Douglas, Wyoming said there have been drastic changes since Henderson became head coach.
"Practices are a lot more organized than they were last year," Sigala said.
Sigala said that Henderson is very structured, doesn't like to waste time and holds every player accountable. She said Coach really pays attention to how the players carry themselves on and off the court. Sigala said practices are usually very hard and intense, but she still loves playing under Coach Henderson.
"She is a very passionate, hard-working person with a great sense of humor that people just like to be around."
Katellin Wensley, a senior healthcare management major from Advance, N.C., said she loves playing for Coach Henderson.
"She expects the best from us at all times and being mediocre is not acceptable
