Northwest Christian Schools Athletics

Amber Schumacher is passionate about working with middle school athletes and believes this season of development is a powerful opportunity to build confidence, character, and a love for the game. Amber is committed to creating a team culture where athletes feel safe, encouraged, and challenged to grow, both on and off the court.

Amber brings a strong volleyball background, including three years of varsity high school playing experience with a fourth year of club volleyball in Southern Mexico during her time as an exchange student along with three years of elementary volleyball coaching. She holds aligned NFHS coaching certifications and continues to pursue ongoing professional development. In addition to her coaching experience, Amber has worked for several years as a substitute teacher and is in her final year of graduate school for Clinical Mental Health Counseling. This background allows her to take a developmentally informed, brain-based approach to coaching that emphasizes emotional regulation, resilience, teamwork, and growth mindset.

Amber believes athletics provide a meaningful space to teach life skills such as work ethic, integrity, humility, and perseverance. Research shows a strong link between girls participating in athletics and becoming future leaders, fostering confidence, resilience, team-work and strategic thinking. She is excited to partner with families and the Northwest Christian community to help athletes grow as players, teammates, and young leaders.
