TESTIMONIALS

“Coach Craig has made a BIG difference in my game. He’s taught me how to hit every shot on the court and helped me develop a high level arm swing that I am really confident in. From the beginning, he worked with me on my form and technique, breaking it all down making sure each movement was intentional so I would be more accurate and consistent with my attacks. I feel much more confident when I’m in the sand now and I’m really thankful for everything he’s done to help me get better. His support and guidance have had a huge impact on my game.”

“Coach Craig is a mechanics guru and has a completely different method of teaching beach volleyball compared to other coaches I have worked with. He taught me the importance of good mechanics, how to think outside the box, and how to be effective offensively and win matches against more physically dominant players. Most importantly though, he taught me to play my own game and have confidence in my own abilities. In my opinion, any player – big or small – who trains with him will benefit greatly!”

“One of my peers referred me to Coach Craig and told me he was the BEST shots coach in SoCal, and that was what I needed to focus on, my shots and swing mechanics. Coach Craig doesn’t just take you out and give you drills, he customizes his efforts to your needs, your height, your style, your position and he nurtures his efforts. He sends you videos of practice that breakdown what you are doing right and wrong, he follows up to make sure you understand, and he holds you accountable. To be honest, the low-to-high mechanics he teaches were very different from what I had learned in the past, and when I began training with him it felt like I was having to unlearn everything I’d been taught my whole life. But I decided to trust the process and boy has it payed off! I am now a much better hitter and I can hit every shot on the court with confidence! Thank you Coach Craig for all you have done! I will be going to college empowered with options I did not have before I trained with you!”

“Coach Craig did everything possible to help me succeed. He taught me how to read the court better, the best strategies to confuse my opponents, and taught me the best mechanics for my shots and swings. His low-to-high mechanics were different from most coaches, but they helped me become the most complete player I could be. It did take me a bit to change my muscle memory, but when I got it, I never wanted to go back to my old ways. He trained me on the beach for hours every week, filmed my practices, and sent me videos breaking down everything for me. He would even give me exercises to do at home when I couldn’t see him. Even to this day, since I’ve left for college, he always reaches out to ask how everything is going and sends me videos to watch to keep me from forgetting the techniques that he taught me. He has helped me in so many ways and changed my game drastically for the better! I’m so thankful I got to work with him for the two years I was in Hermosa. He made me a better player, athlete, and person overall.”
