FORT WORTH – Head coach Jason Williams announced the promotion of Justin Girodat to assistant coach on the TCU volleyball staff.
Â
"I'm so excited that we were able to keep Justin and elevate him on our staff," said Williams. "He has been a part of our family and a key contributor to our success as a program the last two seasons. I'm looking forward to watching him grow as he continues his coaching career in Fort Worth."
Â
In two seasons as a graduate assistant, Girodat made massive strides and became instrumental in the success of the TCU volleyball program. During the 2024 and 2025 seasons, the Frogs won 20 regular-season matches in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2008-09, advanced to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive season and TCU received its first-ever ranking in the AVCA poll and climbed as high as No. 9 in the nation.
Â
Girodat stepped up and filled in as an interim assistant coach during the 2025 season. He took on a larger role for the Frogs, conducting opponent scouting reports and running film sessions in addition to overseeing practice drills and positional training to prepare student-athletes for the competition level of the Big 12 Conference. With his guidance, a total of six Horned Frogs earned all-conference honors, including Evan Hendrix, who garnered All-American nods.
Â
Off the court, Girodat also played a role in TCU's recruiting efforts. His assistance in compiling prospect data and preparing communication for prospects helped the Frogs bolster their roster with top high school and transfer talent.
Â
Girodat came to TCU after wrapping up his volleyball career at Carthage College, where he was a member of the 2022 National Championship squad. Playing setter for the Firebirds, he appeared in 120 sets over three seasons, helping Carthage go 60-17 in his three-year career.
Â
A native of Buffalo Lake, Minnesota, Girodat graduated with his Bachelor's in Political Science in 2024 from Carthage College and completed a Master's Degree in Liberal Arts at TCU in 2025.
