Newly announced Head Volleyball Coach Mike Gawlik addresses the media on Thursday, Jan. 28, 2016.
Mike Gawlik has climbed Temple Mountain and cage-dived with great white sharks in South Africa. He has been to Greece and Egypt. A trip to Thailand on April 29 marked his fifth continent visited.
Gawlik said he likes to step outside his comfort zone and go places he's never gone — something he hopes to do with the Central Michigan University volleyball team.
After being hired as head coach on Jan. 28, Gawlik is settling into his new role after spending 11 years as an assistant coach at Michigan State.
