Brooke Rundle began working for Bring It Promotions during the summer of 2002. Brooke's many talents for dealing with volleyball life in Europe were first discovered during her participation in BIP's January Exposure Tour 2002 on which she was the team captain and fearless leader of her team and delegation both on and off the court. She was immediately hired to help run some of the many tours that BIP had planned for the summer of 2002 and she did a great job. Most importantly, she has received rave reviews from the teams and coaches that she has worked for in this capacity and we look forward to having Brooke in charge of many University and Youth Tours in future years.

Rundle took over the role of Director of Player Management for BIP in June of 2002. Her main duty in this role is to run the women's side of the player placement agency. Female players interested in finding a team and job in Europe (or Puerto Rico, South American, etc.) need to be in touch with Brooke. Prior to her European current stint, Brooke had an illustrious career at UCSB where she lead the Lady Gauchos to the Regional Finals of the NCAA Tournament in each of her last 3 years. Rundle was Freshman of the Year and 1st Team All Conference in 1998 and went on to be voted All District and All Conference in each of her last 3 seasons, as well as 2nd Team All-American honors in 2000.  After her collegiate career, she went on to compete one year for OK Benedikt, in Marbior Slovenia and one year for Eastborn Volco, in the Netherlands.

Brooke is originally from Westlake, CA, but currently resides Santa Barbara, CA.  She enjoys traveling, surfing, snowboarding and music in her spare time.

Brook Coulter - Youth and Juniors Tour, Marketing

Brook Coulter began colaborating with Bring It Promotions during the 2002 European Season while she was living and playing in Slovenia and helping Ms. Rundle hold down the office. Her efficiency and volleyball knowledge was quickly harnessed and now she's helping the company move farther into the youth and juniors direction. Coulter is also responsible for the company's drive to add some European sponsors and develop a more commercial front in Slovenia where much of the company's operations are based.

Brook had a two sport college career, as a four year starter in volleyball (with All Pac 10 Freshman and Senior Year honors) and two seasons on the basketball team at the University of California, Berkeley. After graduation, Coulter played basketball for a partial season in Holland with Top Division club Bahrendrecht. Then, after a year as an assistant volleyball coach at the University of Nevada (Reno), she came to Europe again to switch back to volleyball for good.

Brook is originally from Fort Collins, Colorado, but currently lives in Maribor, Slovenia where she is playing her second season with the top division club OK Benedikt in nearby Lennart, Slovenia. She enjoys snowboarding, skiing, reading, wakeboarding, waterskiing, good company and a fine glass of "mis-mos".

Margaret "CJ" (aka "Ceej") Sherman is our new (2005) BIP South East Representative. First introduced to Bring It Promotions as a coach on our most famous "2001 Exposure Tour", Ceej was raised in South Florida playing softball, soccer, track, volleyball, and backyard football, as well as surfing, skating, and motor cross cycling with her brothers.  

Her volleyball career began at Covenant College, Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, where she earned NAIA All Conference and All Region honors. As a recent retiree from a highly successful collegiate head coaching career (Palm Beach Atlantic University, University of South Carolina Aiken, and University of Montevallo), CJ has switched her focus to coaching her two beautiful daughters, Meghan and Kamryn, on their high school and club teams (Jacksonville Juniors).  

With CJ’s impressive coaching accomplishments; an overall record of 337 wins and 188 losses, including two back-to-back 30 win seasons, 7 times coach of the year, 34 All-Conference players, 21 Academic All Conference, 3 Conference Players of the Year, and 5 All-Americans, we are extremely excited to have her on board the BIP staff to help bring us to another level!  

Ceej will be extremely active in recruiting for future tours, coaching and guiding BIP tours, and integrating the entire South East region into our activities.

Our man in Greece, Kostas has been working with us as a great friend and partner since 2002. He has excellent contact with all Greek teams, and also good connections in Cyprus, Turkey, Russia, and the rest of Europe. Kostas comes to the "Agent Business" from "up on top" of the net as is well known for his honesty and integrity as well as a great love and knowledge for the game of volleyball. He was an International Referee starting in 1984, and became an official FIVB referee in 1986. He whistled the World Cup Finals in 1989 and was one of two chosen neutral referees for the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992. In 1995 Kostas suggested several rule changes to the FIVB, among them the coloring of the ball, the rally point system, the reduced pressure in the ball, the ability for coaches to stand during the match, and a few others. He is the author of two books: "Everything That You Don't Know About Volleyball" (loosely translated from Greek, the book is in Greek only) and "Beyond the Net". In 1996 he was re-elected as a neutral referee for the Olympic Games in Atlanta, USA. It was after this competition that he was named "Referee of the Year, 1996" and at that point he decided to retire on top. During his career he whistled hundreds of games in various competitions including Grand Prix, World League, World Cup, and the Olympics, but the events that he remembers best include a European Championship match in Berlin (1st time with East and West Berlin) and the USSR's last match as the Soviet Union (vs. Italy).
