The Nebraska connection between Merritt Beason and the head coach of the Atlanta Vibe
Merritt Beason plays under the mentorship of Kayla Banworth. The Atlanta Vibe's head coach, Banworth, and Beason share a mutual connection. Beason and Bedworth have had a successful collegiate volleyball career at Nebraska. Kayla Banworth was part of the Nebraska Volleyball team from 2007 to 2010.
"It's really exciting, it's comforting too because a lot of things are still pretty similar, so it's pretty comforting. Obviously she was a great volleyball player and a great coach, and just having that connection is really special and like I said, a lot of things are pretty similar at least so far. I've only been here a few days but so far it's pretty similar, so it's comforting and makes the switch a little bit easier to ease into things...," Beason said while talking about Banworth [1:03 onwards, via Atlanta ibe]
After her collegiate career, Banworth also served as the assistant coach at Nebraska Volleyball from 2017 to 2019. Beason has proven herself to be one of the best volleyball players in the country and was recently appointed as the head coach of Gardendale High School in Alabama.
