HAMITER

Bill began working with the men’s sitting programme in 2001 in the USA to build a programme and team. In 2005 he worked out a contract to have University of Central Oklahoma become the National Training Site, USA’s first ever. In 2009 he was hired full-time by USA Volleyball and became its first director of Sitting programmes. He is currently active.

“My father had the greatest influence on me as a person. He taught me work ethic, positive attitude & outlook, being respectful of others, and analytical thinking. In volleyball, John Kessel & Doug Beal influenced me the most. John helped me develop in the pedagogy, motor learning, & science of the game. Doug helped me develop in the fine points of the upper levels of the game and gave me significant help in management/administration of a programme.”
