About kirsten

Kirsten Jones graduated from Sentinel High School in Missoula, MT and attended San Diego State for three years (1988-1991). She transferred to The College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA, where she was 1st team all-conference her junior and senior years (1991-1993). She was named the Colonial Athletic Association’s (CAA) Player of the Year in 1992. Despite only playing two years in the league, she was named to the CAA 25th Anniversary team, recognizing the top 25 players in the league’s first quarter century. In 2018 Kirsten was inducted into The College of William & Mary Hall of Fame.

This is her third-year coaching for Sunshine VBC. Kirsten was a 14-year NIKE executive and is now a Peak Performance and Sports Parenting coach. She works off the court with players, coaches, and parents on mental strategies for peak performance.

Kirsten’s coaching philosophy is to focus on the three F’s, Fun, Friends, and Fundamentals. More than anything she believe kids need exposure to haw fun the sport can be, while meeting friend and learning some solid basics about the sport.

She loves the moment when an athlete who has struggled with a skill finally figures it out. “You can almost see the penny drop, as a smile rolls across her face and she asks if she can do it again.”

Kirsten and her husband are raising three athletes; their youngest is in her fourth year of playing with Sunshine.
