Natany Felix Guimarães begins her first season (2026-27) as an assistant in the CSI Volleyball Program.
Guimarães coached last fall on the Lewis-Clark State College staff after a standout collegiate playing career with the Warriors. A native of Brazil, Guimarães served as an assistant coach, working primarily with serve receive and defensive specialists.
"Natany brings an outstanding combination of experience, knowledge, and passion to our program," Harshman said. "From our first conversations, it was clear that her passion and enthusiasm to student-athlete development aligned perfectly with the culture we're building at CSI. She made an immediate connection with our coaching staff, and we knew she would be an excellent fit. We're excited to have her in the gym and are confident that her expertise, attention to detail, and ability to build meaningful relationships will have a tremendous impact on the growth and success of our athletes."
As a libero at LC State from 2023-24, Guimarães established herself as one of the program's top defenders.
Prior to LC State, Guimarães played two seasons at Jefferson College, where she earned an Associate of Arts degree. She later earned a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology: Exercise Science and Health Occupations from Lewis-Clark State College and just completed additional studies in Interdisciplinary Studies while earning her coaching certification.
Drawing from her international background and collegiate playing experience, Guimarães is committed to developing student-athletes through technical excellence, competitive discipline, and a passion for the game.
