I personally love teaching. Whether you’re a beginner just learning the game or an advanced athlete chasing the next level, I’m excited to teach and add value.

What I’ve found is that a lot of athletes and teams don’t ask for help because they’re worried about being judged for where they are. They’re worried they’re not good enough yet. But honestly, that’s my favorite part.

Why? Because that’s where the biggest growth happens. That’s where I can make the biggest dent and the biggest impact.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before you ask for help. You just have to be willing to learn.

If your team needs help in any area—skills, mindset, leadership, culture, or performance—please reach out. I’d love to help.

And a huge thank you to Maplesville High School for hosting us. We had an amazing time, and I’m so grateful these athletes got the opportunity to learn, grow, and challenge themselves.

The goal isn’t to impress people with where you are. The goal is to get better than where you were yesterday.

We had an absolute blast at our Libero Camp, and because of the response and level of athletes in the gym, we’re bringing it back.

If you want to be considered for the next camp, comment INVITE and we’ll send you the application form.

This camp is designed for serious liberos, DS athletes and 6 rotation pins at the varsity and collegiate level who are competitive, coachable, and looking to sharpen both their skills and their mindset.

You WANT to be part of those conversations!

We had an absolutely incredible two days with these young ladies in the building.

There was a lot of learning, a lot of growth, and a lot of failing forward.

One of the biggest themes of this camp was the libero mindset and the athlete mindset of allowing ourselves to fail, grow from it, and learn from it instead of focusing on it. Too many athletes spend their energy thinking about mistakes instead of asking, “What can I learn from this rep?”

The best athletes are not the ones who never fail. They’re the ones who learn the fastest and keep moving forward.

What an amazing two days of energy, effort, and learning. We are so, so grateful to have shared this experience with these athletes and their families.

The future is bright. ❤️🏐

Most youth athletes are simply not taught blocking.

Not the mindset.
Not the how.
Not the why.

They’re told to jump and put their hands up, then hope for the best.

Blocking was always a huge passion of mine as a player. There is nothing like getting a big block in a match.

The truth is, blocking is actually pretty simple, but you have to build the right fundamentals first. Learning how to move, control your body, press, and understand why you’re doing what you’re doing goes a long way.

That’s exactly why I created this course.

Perfect for youth athletes, parents helping their athlete, and coaches working with developing players.

Most youth athletes are not really even taught how to block. They just jump up and hope for the best. This includes setters, who have to be some of the strongest blockers since they block the outside hitter.

Unfortunately, the majority of kids that I see are jumping with their hips forward and arms back. And simply, blocking always comes in as an afterthought in practices, and nobody really takes the time to teach the fundamentals.

So I made this course: body- footwork and blocking mindset.

It can be done at home. It can be done with a net in the gym. It’s simply about learning how to control your body, how to press, and becoming aware of what your body does.

Some athletes are talented.
Some athletes change the entire energy of a gym.
turnley.vb.2028 is both.

I would take this kid on ANY team, at ANY point in my life. Period.

Beyond the athleticism — running track, competing in beach and indoor volleyball — Emory is the type of athlete every coach prays walks through the door. Genuine. Kind. Tough. Coachable. Relentless worker. Full support of her teammates. Full effort every single day.

And the best part?
No entitlement. No drama. Just work.

I’ve known her for 5 years now, and watching her growth has been incredible. The scary part is she’s only scratching the surface of what she can become over the next few years.

College coaches — keep your eyes on this libero. She’s the type of athlete that elevates programs, cultures, and people around her.

Athletes like this are a reminder that talent matters… but character, consistency, and work ethic still win in the long run. Always have. Always will.
