Leadership and Team Building
Todd Dagenais
UCF Head Volleyball Coach
Heading into his seventh season at UCF with a 102-87 overall record, head coach Todd Dagenais has the Knights on the cusp of someplace they have not been since 2003: the NCAA Tournament. Since arriving on campus in 2008, the Knights have been trending upward under Dagenais, finishing the last four seasons with winning records.
Before assuming the post at UCF, Dagenais spent three seasons as the assistant head coach at the University of Southern California where he helped guide the Trojans. Prior to his appointment at USC, Dagenais spent one season with USA Volleyball working to identify and develop future National Team players. From 1998-2003 he served as the Associate Head Volleyball Coach at Michigan State University and was also an assistant coach at Northern Michigan in 1998, serving as the recruiting and travel coordinator for the Wildcats.
Dagenais received his bachelor's degree in sports medicine (with an emphasis in exercise physiology) from Central Michigan in 1995. He played on the Chippewas' men's club team for four years and was also a certified athletic trainer.
His coaching philosophy has been a fusion of several different styles learned while working under former National Team and Michigan State head coach Chuck Erbe, 2000 Olympic Team head coach Toshi Yoshida, and 2004 Olympic head coach and current University of Southern California head coach Mick Haley.
