Goals: Primary Goal Implement the most sustainable & impactful performance training program & partner possible for our organization. 1. Optimize performance training through a focus on volleyball specific training that adapts and progresses with each athlete, as well as lead to more opportunities beyond our athletes' club volleyball experience. 2. Build athletic skills in speed, agility, movement, jumping/landing, and much more, in a way that develops each athlete s explosive ability and capacity to withstand and excel through the rigors of a season (and year around). 3. Deliver a high quality program in a way that is economically sustainable for the future, in a way that helps our athletes realize that improving in areas of athleticism will complement what they re doing on the court to make them a more complete and higher performing athlete.
