from Raising Athletes · host Kirsten Jones, Bleav

Kirsten had a blast talking to Frankie Valdez about his story and how he shapes young people. In this clip, Frankie talks about letting young people explore other things - arts, sports, whatever! Be curious. Francisco Valdez played for the Dominican National team for 14 years, starting in their youth program and continuing to the elite men’s team. After winning the USAV Open division championship, Frankie was recruited to play NCAA D1 volleyball at Long Beach State. He went on to play overseas in Venezuela, Turkey and Puerto Rico. Frankie is a multiple National title holder in the Dominican Republic, playing pro plus a few USA Open championships. He started out as a tennis player, but once he transitioned to volleyball he never looked back. This is his 7th year coaching with Sunshine VBC and first year as head coach of Louisville High School.
