The Beginning

Hey,

I’m pumped you’re here.

This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while — a way to give athletes a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to play at the next level. Whether you’re chasing a college scholarship, trying to add inches to your vertical, or just want to train smarter — I’ve got you.

Over the past few years playing pro volleyball, I’ve learned a lot. About how to train. How to recover. How to stay consistent. How to deal with pressure, setbacks, overtraining, burnout — all of it.

I made a lot of mistakes early on, and had to figure things out the hard way. But through that, I built habits and systems that helped me get here — and that’s what I’m going to share with you.

🧠 What to Expect From Court and Beyond

Every week, I’ll be sending out quick, practical insights on things like:

• Vertical jump development & strength training

• My in-season & off-season routines

• Recovery that actually works

• Mindset, confidence, and preparation

• Mistakes I made that you can avoid

Everything I share will be based on what I actually do — no fluff, no hype, just what works at the pro level.

Let’s Get After It

Whether you’re on your high school grind, playing in college, or chasing something bigger — I want this to be something that brings you real value every time it hits your inbox.

I’m fired up for what’s coming. Let’s get after it.
