Steve Smith
bio
As a Division I athlete, Steve found his passion for sports medicine, strength and conditioning, and athlete development. He was the Major League Physical Therapist for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Senior Director of Health, Wellness, and Performance for the Washington Wizards before becoming the Site Director for Performance and Reconditioning for his current company which helps both active-duty military and veterans. He is a licensed physical therapist, certified strength & conditioning coach, and nutrition specialist. Over the years, he has developed programs and trained volleyball players of all ages to improve their strength, speed, jumping abilities, and overall movement on the court. His goals for this season are to emphasize teamwork, help develop general athletic abilities, and most important, have fun! Coach Steve is very excited to coach alongside his wife, Lisa, with the St. James 12 Navy team this season! When they are not coaching together, they love travelling and spending time with their three children, all volleyball players and STJ alumni : Logan (Johnson & Wales University, 2021-2023), Madison (freshman at Brown University), and Derek (freshman at Randolph College).
