Cecile Reynaud is an American volleyball educator and retired coach of the Florida State Lady Seminoles volleyball team. After her retirement from coaching she was an associate professor with the sport management program at Florida State University until August, 2015. She also served as an interim assistant athletic director and senior women's administrator at Florida State University from 1994-95. She has served as a television color analyst for collegiate volleyball matches on ACCN, Fox Sports Net South, Sunshine Network and ESPN.
She retired from coaching with over 650 wins. She is a past president of the American Volleyball Coaches Association. She is also a past chair of the board for USA Volleyball.
A 1975 graduate of Missouri State University, Reynaud enjoyed an outstanding athletic career on the volleyball team and was twice named among the Outstanding College Athletes in America. In 1983, she was inducted into the school's Women's Athletics Hall of Fame. Reynaud added "Dr." to her name in the spring of 1998 after completing her doctorate degree in athletic administration at Florida State.
Coaching
[edit]Florida State University
[edit]As a coach, Reynaud has surpassed many milestones in her 26-year tenure at Florida State. Coach Reynaud notched her 500th career victory in the first match of the 1994 season against Southern Illinois University,[1] placing her among an elite list of coaches in the 500 win club. She reached win number 550 in a three-set win at Florida Atlantic University in 1997 as she led the Lady Seminoles to the program's best ever start at 12-0, and her 600th win over Clemson.[2]
Post season play was familiar to the Lady Seminoles over 26 seasons of volleyball. Florida State (FSU) made 10 NCAA post-season appearances. At the conference level, FSU made three appearances in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship game in eight years of ACC competition, earning FSU its first ACC crown in 1998.[3] Prior to joining the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in 1992, Reynaud and the Lady Seminoles claimed six regular-season titles and five tournament titles in Metro Conference play from 1976 to 1991. Reynaud's teams have competed in 10 NCAA Tournaments, including eight post-season trips during her last 14 years in the position.
During her 26 years at Florida State, the volleyball program has also boasted one of the highest graduation rates within the athletic department. Among four-year letter winners, all but two student-athletes earned their college degrees while playing for Reynaud. This accounts for nearly 98 percent of all volleyball student-athletes over those 26 years. Reynaud's Seminoles also earned the prestigious Director's Cup for Service,[4] given annually to the athletic team that performs the most community service hours. The Lady Seminoles donated 636 hours of service to the community in 2000-01.
After her retirement from coaching Dr. Reynaud joined the FSU Sport Management faculty in 2002[5] and served as the academic advisor for all the master's students and taught 3-4 classes a semester until 2015 when she retired from the University after 39 years. She continues to teach one online graduate class a semester as an adjunct professor.
USA Volleyball

In 2014 she served as the team leader for the Men's USA Volleyball Team at the U21 World Championship in Mexico.[6]
She served as a coordinator at the Olympic Festival for several years and participated in the 1990 Goodwill Games as the Technical Secretary. Highly respected among her peers, Reynaud's involvement in international competition was taken to an even higher level when she was chosen to serve at the Deputy Competition Manager for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. As an expert of the game, Reynaud was co-editor of The Volleyball Coaching Bible, which has been heralded as one of the best volleyball coaching books to ever be written. She is the editor of The Volleyball Coaching Bible, Vol. 2 published in June, 2015. She has produced numerous DVDs and other educational material pertaining to volleyball.
Reynaud is also a certified USA Volleyball Coaching Accreditation Program (CAP) instructor and conducts coaching clinics all over the United States. She also served as an FIVB Coach Clinician.
She is a past member of the USA Volleyball Board of Directors and serves on the NORCECA Coaches Commission.
