Strong Group Athletics has named multi-titled coach Roger Gorayeb as its consultant for its girls and women’s collegiate volleyball programs.
In a statement, Strong Group said the 39-time NCAA champion mentor will provide expertise from its supported collegiate teams such as University of the Philippines, University of Santo Tomas, College of St. Benilde and Letran.
The contract also stated that Gorayeb will remain its consultant “for as long as he can mentor our athletes.”
“Sobrang sarap sa feeling kasi hindi ako mawawala sa volleyball. Passion ko talaga magturo ng mga bata. Super saya,” said Gorayeb.
The development came a few days after Gorayeb was released as head coach of the Capital1 Solar Spikers in the Premier Volleyball League.
Gorayeb has been a long-time coach of the San Sebastian Lady Stags where the school has collected 22 titles in women’s indoor volleyball, 11 championships in high school and six in beach volleyball.
He also mentored the Ateneo Blue Eagles for five years where athletes like Alyssa Valdez played for her, and has also handled the national team more than a decade ago.
