Advisory for Parents

Personal Performance Coaching for Athletes
As a long time Club Director, I know that parents are HUGE contributors to their child's development. And it's not easy. It's hard work and it takes commitment and emotional regulation, sometimes on a daily basis.
With decades of experience in the industry working with parents and families, I know parents have a lot of questions and can hit a wall. They sometimes need a space and a person to help them navigate this sometimes crazy space, making sense of it so they can help position and guide their child through important decisions and development.
Our goal with parents is to provide experience-based counsel that supports the thinking process and leads to a playbook of action.

Personal Coaching for Coaches
Coaching is hard. Period. There is so much to do, to know and to execute in order for a player to reach their potential and for a team to win.
Even experienced coaches struggle with blind spots in their delivery, player engagement, communication or winning at higher levels.
In the United States a lot of young coaches enter this profession after playing and haven't had full time coach training. This can leave gaps and cause strain, even suffering when results don't equal expectations.
Our goal is to support coaches in creating their own strategic playbook of knowledge, drills, skills, tools, seeing, awareness, delivery mechanisms and more.
Together we will get to the heart of what successful
coaching is for you, improve your effectiveness and evolve your practical on the ground skill set.

Mentorship for Coaches

Personal Coaching for Coaches
People and society are changing. This means coaching is changing and has to evolve. Having a mentor helps to accelerate growth, up-level skills and tools, and increase self-awareness and overall effectiveness.
Mentoring Coaches and evolving our current landscape of coaches is key to progressing sports and the culture of sport. We all know that coaches have a HUGE impact on those they coach, and we are passionate about helping coaches not only make a positive impact but embody mentorship.
When coaches enjoy coaching they coach longer and when they coach longer they become more skilled. Our hope is to help create a robust, healthy and long lasting coaching eco-system for the youth of our future.
Together we identify and up-level your unique coaching capabilities and impact.

My Mission and My Clients
I love the intricacies of volleyball and I love strategizing with players, coaches and teams to perform AS their best and AT their best. We don't leave parents out of the equation either. They have a tremendous role to play and good counsel and perspective is invaluable!
I've learned that success, and more importantly lack of success, is created on a day to day basis with habits and intentions. How we think and feel, how we train and approach the game, as well as our ability to execute and face challenges is essential to achieving our true potential. These are things we are alway improving and personalized coaching is a great resource and accelerant.
Working together leads to the creation of a personalized playbook of various tools and resources to bring your best. A playbook is formulated through one-on-one on-line sessions. We talk through your goals and your current situation, bringing greater awareness to the gap between where you are and where you want to be, then put together a strategy.
Coach Testimonial: I've worked with Dana for many years, and as a former club coach and current varsity HS coach, I go to her as a trusted resource for insight about my team and players. She has so much experience and years in the game - she has really seen it all and in all the ages/levels. I would trust any player in any position on my team to work with her. Her feedback is always valuable and clear. She makes the game seem easy.
K. Pierce
Athlete Testimonial: Dana has helped me to understand what it means to be in the present moment, be aware of all aspects of myself, and understand life in a way to be my best. Kim D.
Coach Testimonial: Dana is an exceptional role model within the volleyball community. Her knowledge of the game, her ability to communicate and relate, as well as her tremendous teaching ability goes far beyond coaching athletes. She has been a mentor to so many coaches, myself among the top of that long list. D. Sivertson
Athlete Testimonial: Dana played a massive role in my mental game, teaching me topics like goal setting, mental toughness, and self-esteem as well. She has an essence about her that is both intense yet calming. She inspired me to play Division 1 volleyball and earn my MBA. She is one of the few successful female business owners in sports and is a true role model and mentor in every sense of the word. Rebecca R.
Parent Testimonial: Thank you for the wonderful job you do "coaching." You work the mind, body and spirit! Watching K at practice yesterday I noticed a huge difference! Her mind set gave her confidence in herself and you had an amazing impact! J. Honeycutt
Athlete Testimonial: Dana is a person that impacted my life in the most positive way. I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable coach and life mentor. I have truly never met a more inspiring, driven and positive individual than Dana. Every conversation you have with her makes you fired up enough to run through a wall. The mentoring and coaching I received from Dana has been what keeps me going and being successful. Grace T.
Changing and up-leveling alongside great coaches and mentors has been invaluable to my personal journey and success as a Director, Coach and player. Giving back and supporting coaches, individuals and teams is my passion.
