YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — After serving as Eastern Michigan University's volunteer volleyball coach for the past six months, Peter Winters has been elevated to assistant coach, EMU Head Volleyball Coach Kimi Olson announced, Aug. 2
"We are so excited to have Peter join the staff after volunteering this spring," said Olson. " We look forward to adding his strengths to the program, including training on and off the court and making people into a better version of him or herself, as well as networking and knowledge of local and regional high school and club volleyball. Peter is eager to learn more about the program and will be in charge of scouting & statistics, technology and film exchange, and defensive strategy and systems."
Winters was tabbed EMU's volunteer assistant back in January and has worked his way into his new role.
