Vito Peralta
RISE Heat Head Coach

Vito Peralta recently transplanted from Southern California. He grew up playing a variety of sports, finally concentrating on volleyball. He sought out to find as much coaching and experiences as he could; worked as a coach’s assistant for a nationally ranked Division 2 women’s volleyball team and learned a lot about volleyball technique, strategy and performance training.

He saw the importance and benefits of sports specific training. Through self-training and motivation, he increased his vertical jump, quickness and balance which made him much more efficient on the court.

He was recruited to a men’s volleyball team at a community college in Los Angeles. There, he started as outside hitter and lead the team as a team captain. During that time, he became an assistant coach for the women’s volleyball team and started a sports specific training program for volleyball concentrating on vertical jump and agility. This greatly improved both individual and team performance.

His personal experience has taught him how young athletes can benefit from sports specific training. He holds a Master’s Degree of Fine Art, but his path has always led him to sports.
