John Burlet, Level 2 Coach, BVC Head Coach
John started playing volleyball in France at the age of 12 and has been passionately dedicated to the sport ever since. As he developed into a strong player, he began his coaching career at 15, assisting high-level coaches with drills and learning the nuances of coaching. He applied these skills by coaching his 7-year-old nephew. In his 20s, John moved to Sussex, where he continued to excel as a player, even winning a championship with his then 18-year-old nephew. John has coached numerous teams to success, rebuilt the club after COVID, and currently coaches adult and junior teams, while also mentoring other coaches. He is fully qualified and experienced in working with both juniors and adults and is highly respected in the field.
