MIAMI – FIU beach volleyball Head Coach Rita Buck-Crockett announced on Thursday the addition of one of the most dominating duos in the sport, Adriana Behar and Shelda Bede, as members of the Panthers' staff. Behar will serve as volunteer assistant, while Bede will be the team's volunteer video coordinator.
"I am really excited about our coaching staff," said Buck-Crockett. "With the addition of Adriana and Shelda, they both bring a wealth of knowledge that will certainly benefit our program. The idea of our student-athletes – some with aspirations of being Olympians – having female role models that have been so successful internationally, as world champions and Olympic medalists, working with them daily, will be a tremendous asset.
