"I learned soooo much. The great tips on setting and footwork for setting, serve receive, etc. Lots of good stuff that I will carry with me forever. And what a great group of guys to teach us. I thoroughly enjoyed it!" ~ Kristin

"I love the programs! I started with the athletic foundations about a month ago and my mobility and stretching capabilities have been the best in my life. I am currently in the 60 day vertical program and i already see improvements. Wish i would have started this earlier. Thanks to Mark for helping me through this!" ~ Kevin B.

"Finding out about Coach Mark Burik and Better at Beach via a Facebook ad may be the best thing that happened to me all year. At first, I was hesitant to sign up for training since I wasn't sure how he would train beginners like me, but I quickly found out that I didn't need to" ~ Kelsey W.

"Winners B/BB Queens Tourney! Amazing day!" ~ Kharisma K.

"I did it... I made the switch to the new membership model and I hope that you all will, too! I usually dwell and procrastinate on decisions, but sticking with BAB was a no-brainer for me. From the very first BAB YouTube video that I watched and through each and every live course, BAB has become synonymous with RESULTS! I know I won't ever become an AVP player but I want to reach my personal best and I really believe BAB will get me there! ~ Monica M.

"Week 2 done. Week 0 Lateral Agility drill was 26.97 sec and 25.35 sec. This weeks is 24.47 sec and 22.02 sec. Getting Faster!!" ~ Steven N.

"Thankful for you demonstrating the float serve! Participated in an 8 week social volleyball league, made the championship game but we came in second. My highlight was being down 10-20 and I did 11 float serves in a row. Many did not come back! Tied the game 20 20. They could not adjust to the short serves. When they desperately returned the ball they were lollypops. Float serve is my new secret sauce!! I'm the worst player on my team but I probably score the most points as I played 24 games and only missed one serve. Thank you thank you!!!" ~ John B.

"Hey y'all! I'm onto day 3 of the arm swing class! I'm starting to get a better range of motion. I'm currently working on leading my swing with my chest and getting a better/faster thoracic rotation. Also, always working on keeping my arm loose. I was able to get the 20 throws in at 40 yards, but my form fell apart at the distance." ~ Sean R.

"Played 5 grueling matches in a span of 5 hours to win my first mini-tourney of the year! Legs were totally jelly by the finals but key tactics for serving and block positioning from all my sessions with coach Mark Burik definitely powered us through! Here's to more and bigger wins this year!"
~ Andre P., Phillippines National Team

"Working my way through week 3. My max broad jump added two inches even after playing volleyball then doing the leg work out! Cummoowwnn. P.s. do those airplane rotation things make anyone else feel like an uncoordinated, un-athletic, new born giraffe or just me?"
~ Daniel S., CBVA Open Champion

"I had met Mark previously on the AVP and NVL circuit but as a competitive Midwestern beach volleyball player, it can be very difficult to get professional level coaching or competition to help elevate our game. When I heard what Mark was doing with Better at Beach, I knew I had to sign up. It blew my mind how much of the game I really wasn't seeing before. "
~ Braden C., Volley America Open Champion

"Had an amazing time and learned so much about Beach Volleyball that you can learn from their videos, but they’re actually seeing you do the moves and can give you feedback. Highly recommend!" ~ Collin W.

Great coaches, communicators, and people. Highly recommended." ~ Isam S.

"I use your practice plans exclusively. I truly would not have been able to make this club what it is without your weekly meetings"
~ Steve S., Naples Beach Volleyball

"Training in any sport is a gradual process of development. It never ends. There is almost no limit to it. Mark and he team fully realize this. They take pride and genuine care in working with anyone that decides to train with them…"
~ Peter S.

"That was my favorite day ever! I learned so much to help my game in a short time. Mark B. and crew really helped me change my game! I can't wait to use the skills I learned in the next juniors tournament!"
~ Camille L.

"Happy Holidays Mark! Look forward to seeing you back on the sand in a couple of weeks. Elsa Finished 2nd at USAV qualifier today, won bid to nationals in July. Thx for the opportunity to train in SLC. Really appreciate it."
~ Cindy H.

I've got a quick question for you...

Have you ever studied film? Do you care enough to learn about the game from a strategic standpoint? 

Do you think it's a good idea to learn concepts and principles so you can implement technique and strategy with a deeper understanding?

Here's a personal story:
I know I've been knocked out of playing for months before. I had to undergo shoulder surgery in 2010 and with NO EXAGGERATION, I studied my games and Todd Rogers games for hours and hours..

Without even practicing, I was able to come back from injury on Day 1 and win points in situations I had never been able to before...

This might sound crazy to you but, the "training sessions" where I watched film with my coaches instead of actually practicing... Those were worth more to my career than a MONTH of physical  training because of what I was able to discover about my game and the HIGH level tips and examples provided on film.

That's why I built the courses online. Because I know first hand what video lessons can do... It's why every athlete in the player's tent watches their previous matches on their phones and lap tops.

Maybe you're like me, maybe you aren't but.... I'd do ANYTHING to get better and if that meant watching more matches and getting my coach to show me how HE thought when he watched the game... I was willing to do that.

I'll make you a deal. If you don't think any of our courses are worth at least FIVE private lessons... I'll refund the same day you ask! If you've never taken one of our courses before, you should try it.

What if you miss out on the opportunity to make the biggest jumps in your game has ever seen?

I know that might sound "salesy" but I just believe in it because we see the wins every day. We are flooded with texts, emails, and Facebook messages telling us about big wins thanks to something from our programs. I'd love to see you be one of the players with a big win soon.

No.

We want this membership to work for you and be there for you as long as you need it. But you decide how long to stay. 

The Complete Beach Volleyball Blueprint currently takes about 12 months at a steady pace to see big changes and the best results.

You can set your own pace but to work through each program effectively with enough reps, we recommend two playing sessions per week.

You can also join just to take individual courses but you'll miss out on the live meetings and video analysis you could get in the Better at Beach Online App & Community

Some people need quick fixes but most of our athletes thrive on informational resources and instruction to make sure you're implementing winning strategies.

We know you'll hang around for a long time once you see how big the improvements are in your game!

You can cancel your membership whenever you want at which point you'll lose access to the courses, the workout programs, the meetings and the community with video analysis

While these are the same lessons, training programs, practice plans and workout plans we use with our AVP and World Tour Players, we've designed this volleyball online training so that ANYONE can do it. It doesn’t matter if you’re 15, 25, 45 or 65.

Everything we do starts with foundational elements that we continue to build upon. 

Most of our players are B, A and AA but, we have true beginners who finished at the top of their tournaments within 6 months and open players who made their national teams after a year of hard work and dedication. 

If you play at the top of your region (pushing pro level), or you are completely dedicated to the fastest results possible you should get the Private 1 on 1 Coaching and Mentorship at www.betteratbeach.com/filmsession

You can do everything with a ball, a phone and every now and then, a wall!

We'll show you how to move different skills and drills onto the court if you have more players and access.

If you jump into our workout programs, you can do all of the workouts with a set of power bands or dumbbells but we'll also show you exercises that incorporate equipment from a fully loaded gym.

Yes, yes and YES! 

We've modified all workouts, exercises and drills so you can make the most of it, even if you're stuck at home by yourself. 

Use a court or gym if you're able, but we won't leave anyone behind.

Even if you don't have access to facilities or partners, WE KNOW (because we see it every day) you will get better at this the game and see big time results!

Don't let this intimidate you but our entire volleyball workout training is designed around a complete season training cycle... 1 Year.

If you follow our lead and sign up for our private coaching program, we will take you step by step through every part of your off-season, pre-season, season and post-season phases.

Every course is designed to fit into the same timing progression that most athletes on the FIVB & AVP Tours use.

BUT! YOU DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW THAT TIMELINE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO...

Because each of our courses is also designed to stand on their own.

So if you know passing, is giving you the most trouble, you can dive straight into that program.

If you need more digs right now, start right away with the Ultimate Defender Program.

We design these programs so that just about every drill & exercise has modification examples so you can do them on the court OR at home in front of your house. 

The individual skill & strategy courses, when done at the right pace, should take anywhere from 10 to 60 days (assuming between 2 and 4 active days per week) depending on the program. 

Each section has a video that takes you through the most important faults and easy ways to fix them them.

Then you'll have drill/exercise assignments that should total no more than 1 hour each week.

Of course, you wouldn't want to skimp on reps, though. Once you get going, it'll be hard to stop, so feel free to do more!

We follow a group schedule and make our way through every skill/topic in one year but if you are just here to master ONE skill, you can do that in 1-2 months.

You OWE it to yourself, your partner and your teammates to go through the whole program. Imagine how impressed they'll be in just a couple weeks when you're completely controlling the game!

To be honest, we have a very strong collection of videos and tips on all of our social media and they can take you a long way...

BUT, what we do in the courses is totally different.

1) We structure the volleyball lessons, volleyball tutorials and volleyball drills so that they are in a sound progression. Would you try to launch a rocket before you learned physics, engineering and electronics? NO! But so many players stumble on our videos and try to implement a tip or a lesson that they aren't ready for.

When you complete our programs from start to finish, we build or re-build your technique from the ground up. If you have a flaw in your foundation that's never fixed, you'll never reach your full potential.

Our progression of tutorials, and drills ensure that you lock in the fundamentals so that you can build on them and hit a new level.

2) Personal touch. We put out a lot of content and we know that. We simply don't have the time to answer every DM or reply to every comment. We reserve our time and energy for our members and always put them at the front of the line. Any questions, comments or problems will be answer FAST! When you become a member, you become a Better at Beach Athlete or a Better at Beach Coach and we do not take that lightly. We will be there for you.

3) Focus & Accountability. On social media, the algorithms show you a smattering of different content depending on what engages you most. This is BAD when it comes to actually improving. To fully learn something and improve, you have to focus and finish. You can't just do whatever interests you at that moment. Our courses, schedules, meetings and accountability coaches ensure that you finish what you start so that you can see true improvement.

Even in your second and third year, you will find that there are skills and concepts you can grab onto in a deeper way than when you first started.

PLUS, we continually update the courses.

4) WAY MORE MEMBERS ONLY CONTENT. Your library will hold video analyses of matches at all levels and more bonus footage than you can handle BUT you'll be able to find exactly what you need because of our organization and titling structure. The juicy stuff on social media is just the tip of the iceberg. 

You've got practices to run and sometimes it's tough to know if the drills and training will hit the mark for each athlete. 

By having a proven system that gives you the exact practice plans and progressions you need, you'll no longer stress about which drills are the "right" ones for your junior athletes. 

You can also trust that all of the coaches in your club are on the same page!

Save time and avoid confusion by relying on our easy to follow training plans. Your athletes will have access to important video lessons and tutorials. They will be able to prep for practice ahead of time, which means everyone is prepared and ready to work hard.  

Your job just got easier!
