Head Coach // 14 Mint

Lexi Shafer is the Head Coach for 14 Mint. She brings a wealth of experience as a former club and varsity player, including playing at the University of Dallas and competing on a national-level club team for six years.

This is Lexi’s first year coaching at Ultimate, though she previously coached at a Texas club. She is inspired by watching athletes develop a love for volleyball, achieve their goals, and grow as teammates. Her coaching philosophy emphasizes effort, attitude, and a team-first mindset, helping players get better every practice and every game.

Lexi values creating a positive and supportive team culture, fostering consistency, clarity, and encouragement. She enjoys seeing players achieve breakthroughs, like serving their first overhand ace or stepping up in clutch game situations. Beyond volleyball skills, she hopes her players take away confidence, resilience, and lifelong friendships, as well as the mindset to always strive for their best.
