What Our Athletes Have to Say

The coaches were intense but good intense. They pushed us to be our best in every way because they love and care about us. They push us on the court to not waste a single rep. The practices, performance training, and mental conditioning were fun yet challenging. Practices were high intensity while we worked on developing all skills no matter what position you played.

Empowered creates a family atmosphere within the club. Will and Ashlee Robbins are both role models to me and are like my second parents. I love the people of Empowered, and I highly value my relationships with each coach, player, and teammate. They’re knowledgeable teachers who know the game and who care about my personal development on and off the court.

I can never thank Coach Robbins enough for pushing me to reach my goals. He taught me what it meant to be mentally tough and to do whatever it takes to accomplish my goals. He loved me like a daughter and was always willing to give me advice whether it be about volleyball or about my life. His influence on my life will have a lasting impact on my future.

Our family has been involved with club volleyball for over 5 years with two daughters and 3 clubs. Our daughter is a much better player, and her love for the game grew even deeper over the last 6 months at Empowered. She respects her coach and the mentor coaches that help at each practice.
