Grace Krumpack officially joined the Tufts University volleyball staff in August of 2022, hailing from a career as a strength coach and previously a volunteer assistant coach at Boston College. Krumpack played four years at Brandeis University, her first two seasons as a 6-rotation Outside Hitter, her last two seasons as a Defensive Specialist/Libero. In her final 2019 campaign, she helped lead the Judges to their best UAA Conference finish the program had seen in a decade. She graduated in 2019 with a B.S. in Health: Science, Society & Policy.
Krumpack started her volleyball and movement coaching career at the Jumbo Volleyball Clinics in 2017, which gave her a peak into the world of coaching for the first time. Upon learning she loved teaching the fundamentals of movement in sport and building meaningful relationships with athletes of all ages, Krumpack took a hiatus from coaching volleyball to pursue a personal training career. Beginning her tenure in Boston’s Financial District, she taught movement and fitness to athletes of many ages and abilities. When COVID shut the gym’s doors, she turned to virtual training and continued her professional development with various online mentorships. After a year, the gym permanently closed, and Grace was left with all of her former clients and an opportunity for her own training business — Revive By Grace-Training was born, where Krumpack now specializes in increasing fitness, athletic capabilities and recapturing ranges of motion.
At the start of running her own business, Krumpack was invited to return to her alma-mater as assistant coach for the 2021 spring season. She traveled to Indianapolis in-between seasons for a 3-month strength & conditioning internship focused on sports performance and biomechanics.
Returning to Brandeis in the fall for her first competitive season coaching proved to be full of joy, growth and challenge. Krumpack knew she must to continue in the world of volleyball, but desired to broaden her experience in different divisions and programs. She joined the Boston College Volleyball staff as a Volunteer Assistant for the spring of 2022, where she helped coach their ball control and blocking.
