Gravel graduated from Grand Valley State University with a degree in physical education with a coaching emphasis. He resides in Hillsdale with his wife and assistant coach Stephanie and enjoys playing softball and beach volleyball in his spare time. Teams that are willing to risk everything can accomplish great tasks leaving the individual filled with feelings of accomplishment and great self-satisfaction. It takes courage to risk so much so often, but at the same time it can be tremendously rewarding. The team that has the most to lose generally is the team with the most success.
Sport is about overcoming obstacles.
The more the player gives to their sport, the more obstacles one can surpass. The first step to achieving any goal is believing. We feel it is time for Hillsdale College Volleyball to step into the national spotlight. The players on this team have a lot of heart. They possess the courage necessary to take that risk of expecting nothing but the best from themselves and their teammates.
