Gold Medal Squared Volleyball Camps and Clinics was created with one goal in mind – improving the quality of volleyball players and volleyball coaches. We believe that coaching is a lifelong education. Through years of refinement, we have developed a unique process by which volleyball coaches are given the necessary tools to teach the skills to their players, to understand the tactics of the game, to make better use of limited time with their players, and to develop winning programs. This process is based on studied scientific principles from human kinetics, organizational behavior, statistics, and psychology.
Thousands of volleyball coaches world-wide have been through the Gold Medal Squared program – many with literally life-altering results. We have had innumerable volleyball coaches tell us how much more they enjoy coaching, how much more success and satisfaction they are achieving, and what a big change the Gold Medal Squared process has had on their lives.

Rob Browning was with the Women's Team in London when they won their silver medal. Marv Dunphy, Tom Black and Joe Trinsey were with the women in 2014 when they won their first EVER World Championship. John Speraw and Mike Wall coached our Men to both the 2014 World League Gold Medal and the 2015 World Cup Gold Medal.
