WE ARE PIUS: Abby Fox, new volleyball coach

Meet Coach Abby (Burt) Fox, the newly named head volleyball coach at Pius X High School. A proud alum, former state champion, and lifelong lover of the game, Coach Fox shares her journey from growing up in a big Catholic sports family to discovering volleyball as her passion and purpose. She opens up about the mentors who shaped her, her disciplined yet relationship‑centered coaching philosophy, and her vision for building a culture rooted in faith, accountability, confidence, and joy.

Listeners will hear why returning “home” to Pius means so much to her, what she hopes to build for this new era of Thunderbolt volleyball, and how she plans to form young women both on and off the court. Inspiring, grounded, and mission‑driven—this is a can’t‑miss introduction to one of the newest leaders in our community.
