Former Lady Shark volleyball player Daniela Tobar has been selected as an assistant volleyball coach at Miami Dade College.
Tobar will assist with strategizing game plans, overseeing practices and running defensive and passing drills.
“When you’re playing, you see the game in a certain way, but once you’re coaching, you get a whole different perspective,” said Tobar, who served as a defensive specialist for the Lady Sharks during the 2019-2020 season. “Being able to help athletes grow as players is something that I love doing.”
During Tobar’s lone season at MDC, she recorded 50 receptions, 46 digs and four points.
The 22-year-old graduated with an associate’s degree in recreation from Kendall Campus in December of 2020 and obtained a bachelor’s in sports management and recreation from Florida International University in August of 2022.
Tobar served as head coach of the women’s junior varsity volleyball team at John A. Ferguson Senior High School during the 2021-2022 school year and the assistant coach at Downtown Doral Charter Upper School during the 2022-2023 school year.
Since December of 2020, she has been the head coach of the 305 Volleyball Club’s travel team. Tobar currently works in Name Image and Likeness sports marketing for the McRae Sports Group, creating sponsorships between athletes and companies.
