ABOUT VOLLEYHouse
ATHLETE TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT
VolleyHouse proudly serves female volleyball athletes just beginning their volleyball career to college-level athletes and anywhere in between. We are the only volleyball training facility in the Milwaukee area to solely focus on the training and development of athletes.
At VolleyHouse, our philosophy revolves around coaching the entire athlete within four categories:
-
Fundamentals - having a solid understanding of fundamentals in the sport of volleyball will allow the athlete to compete at their best and continue to grow in the sport.
-
Mental Toughness - Pushing athletes to understand their mind and body can do more than the narrative they tell themselves. Helping the athlete change the narrative they tell themselves when they are not performing the way they want or believe they cannot do something.
-
Leadership/Becoming a Better Teammate - teach athletes how to be great leaders within their team by giving them tools to use during drills and game time. Also, helping athletes understand how to communicate, listen, be accountable, make eye contact, have a good attitude, and have fun to be the best teammate they can be for the team.
-
Life Lessons - Playing sports at the end of the day is an extremely small part of their life. As a coach, if we do not instill life lessons into our coaching practices and philosophy we have not done our job to make the player/person better.

Film Breakdown
-
In this 30-minute in-person session, Coach Samie will go over film with the athlete to help the athlete study their skills and better their gameplay. Watching film on yourself or others is a great learning method by receiving visual reps without performing the skill. Most youth athletes do not have the opportunity to watch film on themselves OR if they have film on themselves they are not sure how to break down what they see. Athletes can expect to receive feedback on multiple items including but not limited to their skills, mental toughness, body language, communication, and more!
