Head Coach Mark Burik has been coaching sports for 16 years and has over a decade of playing and coaching experience in volleyball. Burik has been a mainstay on the AVP Tour and also competes regularly on the FIVB World Tour. 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. He has been a part of the Gold Medal Squared staff, which promotes a system of teaching designed by national team coaches. Brandon started playing volleyball in Chester, Virginia when he was 16 years old for his high school volleyball team. 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. 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.” Connect with Mark + Brandon: Mark Burik FB https://www.facebook.com/markburikbeachvolleyball/ Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-burik-693671102/ IG https://www.instagram.com/markburik/ Twitter https://twitter.com/MarkBurik Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@markburikbeachvolleyball Brandon Joyner IG https://www.instagram.com/joy_beachvb/ FB https://www.facebook.com/brandon.david.98229 William Robbins IG https://www.instagram.com/empoweredbywill.i.am/ FB https://www.facebook.com/wa.robbins/ Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-robbins-700b1527/ Twitter https://twitter.com/empoweredbywill?lang=en 🔥 💪 🏐 GET DAILY VOLLEYBALL TIPS, ADVICE & DRILLS 🔥 💪 🏐 https://www.betteratbeach.com/pcdrillbook CLICK THE LINK AND WE'LL SEND YOU 🔥My 36 Most Effective Beach Volleyball Drills 🔥My 3 Favorite 50-Minute Workouts For Volleyball Players 🔥My YouTube Playlist Clarifying The Biggest BVB Arguments & Rule Disputes 🔥My Top 20 Lessons Learned From 15 Years As Professional Volleyball Player 🔥SAVE 5% WITH OUR MEMBERS ONLY DISCOUNT CODE for Workout Programs, Online Coaching, Camps, Swag & Merch. https://www.betteratbeach.com/pcdrillbook OR CHECK OUT OUR MEMBERSHIP & GET: 🔥 💪 🏐 VOLLEYBALL TECHNIQUE & STRATEGY 🔥 💪 🏐 VOLLEYBALL COACHING 🔥 💪 🏐 WORKOUTS FOR VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS https://www.betteratbeach.com/virtualtrainingpodcast
