UpLift your Self and your Game
UpLift is an exciting program that allows players to grow off the court. We do this in both individual and group settings so that players can learn in social and community structures as well as on their own.
We all know that sports are a great place to learn about life and life lessons but court times is usually dedicated to learning skills and systems.
UpLift is the place where players get to focus on those person-player skills that allow them to harness the athletic experience and capture the sports learning from every situation they face.

Testimonials
Parent Testimonial: "This season with you changed everything! You've helped reignite her passion for volleyball, and more importantly, you've helped her believe in herself again. We can’t thank you enough for the positive impact you’ve had, not just on her as a player, but on our entire family. I truly don’t think you realize how far-reaching your influence has been. It brings tears to my eyes just writing this. You’ve given her spark back and hope for a future playing college volleyball, and for that, we are deeply grateful." Mindy M.
Parent Testimonial: "Dana, i have nothing except the best to say about what I’ve seen you doing at and with the Club. Every young lady I’ve spoken to that’s taken training from you has just come away inspired. Thank you for all you’ve done, already, and long before i witnessed it myself." J. Cox
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.
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.
Parent Testimonial: THANK YOU...again! Obviously, your praise of Rilee's skills & improvement have boosted her confidence & morale TREMENDOUSLY! But your encouragement regarding humility in conjunction with confidence was the "stuff of poets". I have been trying to tell her for YEARS that confidence and humility can go hand in hand, but the WAY you explained it made it "click". You are CONSTANTLY amazing me! Your skills on the court are legendary, but your insight and connection with the players are truly a gift. So, once again....THANK YOU! C. May
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!
