Hey there!
Who Am I?
I’m Daniela Kinsella, also known as The Coach Mom—a Brazilian mom of eight living in beautiful West Cork, Ireland. Volleyball has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and in 2024 I turned that passion into a mission: to share the joy of the game with children, families, and communities here in West Cork.
I’m the founder and coach of West Cork Volleyball Club, and I also run school programs that introduce kids to the basics of volleyball in a fun and engaging way. For me, volleyball is more than just a sport—it’s a tool for connection, teamwork, and confidence-building.
Between family life, coaching, and building new projects, I wear many hats—but at the heart of it all, I’m a mom who loves to inspire others through sport.

About Me
I have started this blog to share my journey while I try to find myself again.
After my separation I needed a way to rediscover or maybe find a new identity.
I’m also trying to use my efforts to grow a small business to help to support my family. Raising 8 children on my own has it challenges, a road full of ups and downs. Blogging has been a great way to express myself.
I hope you enjoy what you read here and maybe I will be a positive influence in your life as you go on your journey.
