After a brief indoor college career at IPFW, and then suffering what was believed to be a career-ending knee injury, William determined in 2006 that he would make his greatest comeback ever. Many indoor successes followed, as William went on to win the Gold Medal in the 2012 USA Volleyball Open National Championships, and the Gold Medal in the 2015 Premier Volleyball League, along with a Silver Medal in both in 2013. Along with competing professionally, William and his wife have a 68,000 sqft multi-sport facility “Empowered Sports Club,” an indoor club program “Empowered Volleyball Academy,” and a beach club program “Empowered Pro Beach Juniors.”

Guess what? We have Coach Matt Olson today!!!

Having a SOLID partnership is one of the best methods to win more beach volleyball matches. In beach volleyball, each of our touches needs to have a purpose, a target, and a direction. Even if your pass lands exactly on your platform, it won't matter if you don't direct the ball to the area where your partner will have the simplest time setting you up. Even if you place it too far outside or behind you, it won't matter if you have the earliest of sets. It doesn't matter whether you make the crispest of shots if they land in the middle of the court. So, in order for you to know, CHECK THIS OUT!

Recognized as one of the top beach volleyball players in the country, he has numerous championships under his belt and has won the legendary Pottstown Rumble three times.

As a senior, Brandon was named Virginia State Player of the Year and has been a coach for more than 10 years. He found success in the National Volleyball League as high as third and also took home the “Most Improved” award in 2016.

Slick's first-ever AVP main draw came in Hermosa Beach in 2010 when teaming with Olympic Gold Medalist Dain Blanton. In the 2016 season opener in New Orleans, Slick had a partially detached retina in his left eye and ever since has worn protective goggles while playing. In his career Slick has played with six different Olympians (Dain Blanton, Adrian Carambula, Casey Patterson, Todd Rogers, Sean Rosenthal, and Indoor Olympian Reid Priddy).

Katie Spieler holds a career-best 3rd place finish on the AVP with multiple top 10 finishes over her three years on tour. She has won 3 Gold Medals and 2 Silver Medals internationally, with her most recent win as the 2019 World Champion for Beach Volleyball 4 x 4. In 2016, Katie co-founded a youth and adult beach volleyball club in her hometown of Santa Barbara, called East Beach Volleyball Academy. Besides being a volley enthusiast, Katie is a beekeeper (hence her nickname “Honeybee”).

Ready for the beach volleyball podcast?

Guys, today Head Coach Mark Burik and Co-founder Brandon Joyner will talk about how to win in volleyball when it's really windy. In beach volleyball, the wind can cause problems because the ball's flight might be unpredictable. This can make serving, passing, and hitting extremely difficult. But retrain your mind to see the wind as a friend rather than an opponent, because no matter what you do, it will not listen to you and will not change. Let’s sway in the wind of beach volleyball in today’s episode!
