Ahmed Ibrahim is in his third season as an assistant coach for the Harvard men's volleyball team.

Ibrahim helped Harvard to unprecedented success in 2012 as the Crimson earned the program’s first-ever national ranking and finished the year at No. 15 in the AVCA Coaches Poll. Harvard posted an 18-6 overall record on the year, the third most wins in program history, and finished second in the EIVA with a 10-4 conference mark.

Harvard ranked seventh in the NCAA in hitting percentage (.298), eighth in win percentage (.750) and 11th in aces per set (1.13) in 2012. Individually, Senior Matt Jones ’12 ranked ninth in kills (3.38) and aces (0.42), while sophomore Chris Gibbons ’14 was eighth in digs (2.47). Harvard also posted its first win over a ranked opponent under Baise with a 3-1 defeat of then-No. 12 Cal State Northridge.

Three Crimson earned All-EIVA honors as a result of the team’s success, including senior Jones (first team), freshman DJ White ’15 (first team) and junior Rob Lothman ’13 (second team).

Last season, Ibrahim helped the Crimson continued on the road to success earning the program’s highest and second-ever national ranking on Feb. 25 at No. 14 in the AVCA Poll. Harvard finished second at the EIVA postseason tournament and posted its third 18-win season that included the first program defeat of EIVA leader Penn State, 3-0, Feb. 15 and second victory over a ranked opponent under Baise.

As a result of the team's success in 2013, four Crimson earned All-EIVA accolades, the most since the 1993 squad, including sophmore DJ White (first team), classmate Caleb Zimmick (second team), senior Rob Lothman (second team) and junior Kyle Rehkemper (second team). Lothman capped off his campaign in Cambridge as Harvard's all-time leader in assists (3,094) while White and Zimmick sit among the program's top 10 in five different statistical categories as sophomores.

Ibrahim joined Baise's coaching staff in 2011 after coaching the intramural and club volleyball teams at Princeton University. He also served as a program specialist at the Central New Jersey Volleyball Academy

Ibrahim has 13 years of professional volleyball experience with the National Volleyball League of Egypt. From 2001-06, he played for the Sharkia Egyptian National League Team in Cairo, where the team qualified for Divison A every year. Prior to that, Ibrahim played for the Semoha National League team in Alexandria for four years.

Ibrahim graduated with honors from Suez Canal University in Egypt in 2001 with a degree in physical education and a specialization in volleyball coaching. Upon graduation, he was recognized by the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, President Mubarak, for being one of the top 10 students in his field and was awarded a position consulting on health and fitness for the Egyptian Ministry of Youth.
