A nova is a strong, rapid increase in the brightness of a star. The word comes from the latin for "new star," because often a star previously too dim to be seen with the naked eye, can become the brightest object in the sky when it becomes a nova.
At NOVA Performance, our goal is to guide our athletes, so they may develop to such a high degree, that they emerge as a "new star;" shining stronger and brighter than ever before.
At NOVA Performance, we value the development of the whole athlete. We emphasize not just skill development, but full body strength, volleyball specific IQ, and athletic personal development.
Our goal is to provide structured, educated, and high level services to our athletes. No matter what avenue of NOVA training you receive, you will come out a better athlete on the other side.
Throughout my volleyball career, I had a lot of coaches that guided me to become the athlete that I did. However, I also had to do a lot of training and learning on my own. I became a coach to become the resource for athletes today, that I needed back then.
With that in mind, NOVA was created. Instead of going to 5 different coaches for your different athletic needs, NOVA is here to be your one-stop shop.
Our current and future programs are designed with an athletic based mindset, educational backing, and carefully curated to provide the best experience possible.
As the creator and founder of NOVA, I take pride in my personal experiences and educational background that has helped developed the programs and systems we offer.

Why Humility?
In the world of athletics, humility can help you to avoid overconfidence, arrogance, and complacency, which can lead to poor performance, conflict, and resentment. At NOVA, we aim to help build an enviroment of rapport and cooperation, that allows you to work with any teammates, coaches, and opponents, and to handle criticism and praise with grace and dignity
Why Growth Mindset?
The journey to success is not without failures and setbacks. What makes a great athlete is how they view and respond to those situations. Having a growth mindset enables athletes to embrace challenges, learn from failures, and seek to always improve their performance. At NOVA, our goal is to continuously provide you with the resources you need to always keep learning and growing as an athelte.
Why Work Ethic?
Great athletes aren't just born, they are made. At NOVA, we believe how hard you work directly impacts an athletes level of success and performance. You can have the talent, but if you dont have the work ethic, dedication or discipline to harness that talent, you won't improve. At NOVA we provide you with the services you need in order to train on and off the court, so you can dedicate yourself to excel to whatever level of performance you wish.
Why Passion?
At NOVA, we value the passion that volleyball players have for the sport. It is what drives individuals to overcome challenges, persevere, and maintain high levels of commitment. The continuous education provided in our programs serves to help nurture and protect that passion.
Why Resilience?
Resilience is a vital skill that all athletes need to have in order to be successful. Through setbacks, losses, injuries, etc. being able to harness your resilience is what will carry you through. At NOVA, our services aim to help athletes stay focused, maintain motivation, and push through challenges in order to perservere in the pursuit of their goals.
