What does it take to break barriers and build a career in a completely new country?
This week on Journey to June, I sat down with Aleksandra “Sasha” Altieri, a driven local volleyball coach who is shaping the next generation of athletes with passion and precision.
Sasha’s journey from Montenegro to the U.S. wasn’t just about learning a new language—it was about carving her own path in a world where she had no blueprint to follow. From her early days as a player to her evolution as a coach, she’s built a mindset that blends discipline, emotional support, and a deep commitment to personal growth.
In this episode, we dive into:
- The values that fueled Sasha’s success—despite coming from a non-athletic family
- Her transition to the U.S. and the cultural shifts that shaped her coaching style
- Balancing motherhood, coaching, and the demands of a high-performance mindset
- The power of individualized coaching and how she helps young athletes grow beyond the sport
A quick heads-up: Sasha’s young son, Mateo, makes a few lively appearances throughout our conversation. While his enthusiasm adds a little extra energy to our chat, we appreciate your patience with any unexpected background noise!
