Nebraska Volleyball head coach Dani Busboom Kelly reflects on her coaching approach
The Nebraska Volleyball team won two matches in straight sets against Kansas and South Dakota State under the tutelage of head coach Dani Buboom Kelly. She was announced as the fourth head coach of the Nebraska program in January 2025.
During her interview on Big Ten Volleyball last month, she shared her thoughts on her coaching approach as compared to former head coach, AVCA Hall of Famer, John Cook.
"I've just been really focused on making sure that I'm myself every day and I'm not John Cook and I never will be, but a lot of what I believe in and the way I coach is part of his coaching tree so there is some familiarity but I want to stay true to myself and what's made me successful up to this point. I can blend some of the past here into what was so successful at Louisville and and make it my own," she shared [3:04 onwards].
As a former head coach of the Louisville Cardinals, Busboom Kelly guided the team to four ACC titles in eight seasons.
