Charlie and two assistant coaches came to the American School in London here in England, to run a three-day volleyball clinic last May 2013. Within the first hour of working with our students Charlie knew almost every students name. The players at the clinic ranged in ability from one year of experience (just entering high school) to senior varsity players looking beyond high school. Despite the different levels he was still able to hone each of their skills. Using intense drills, cues and video, Charlie worked on fundamentals as well as more advanced skills.

His energy, positive-style of coaching and clear instruction resonated with the players and by the end of the three days he had not only formed bonds with all of the players, but had ignited passion and a drive to play volleyball. Charlie also had an impact on the coaching staff. He took the time to listen to us, tailored his sessions to our needs and gave us guidance about our program and upcoming season.

We are looking forward to Charlie coming back to England and working with our players. I couldn’t recommend Charlie highly enough in either tailoring a clinic at your school or sending a player to his camp.

My name is anonymous and I am the proud parent of high school senior anonymous. In speaking with her about her Volleyball season, she made mention of the team camp that you held with Coach Maxwell here at Southern a few years ago. She said that you took the time to teach her how to pass correctly which helped her become the awesome defensive specialist that she is today. I thought the fact that she credits you was worth mentioning and although you may not remember her, wanted you to know that you made an impact on her athletically and for that I thank you.

I hope that your VB season is successful and thank you again for the time you took to coach my daughter. She is off to college next year and will hopefully find a home playing the game she loves so much.

Please send good thoughts our way as tomorrow we enter into the 3rd round of the State Championship.

Thanks again

As A Varsity Coach I couldn’t be happier. This was the second year Coach Sullivan and his Springfield staff traveled to our school on Long Island. His camp covers it all… fundamentals, communication, strategy, game play, innovative coaching cues and concepts all with INTENSITY. It’s no wonder Coach Sullivan holds six national titles. His demeanor and communication skills reach his players in an effective way that encourages player development with optimum performance. Our athletes always worked hard for Coach Sullivan and remained open to his coaching principles and philosophy

Coach Sullivan consistently brings new and innovative ideas to camp since he is so involved with volleyball on a national, international and professional level. My athletes and I enjoy learning from this Master Coach and consummate professional. Same time next year Coach! Thanks to you we are that much closer to our team goals!!

I would like to thank you for your help this past season. You were one of the contributing factors of our team winning the Connecticut State Volleyball Championship this year. At Southington, we are a young volleyball program of only eight years and have been in the championship match for the last four years.

The three prior years we have been missing that one thing to get us past the hurdle to win the championship. With your help we found that missing piece, It was getting the players to not only be physically ready, but to be mentally ready and in the correct mind set. Having you come to our school for just two sessions, teaching us sports psychology was amazing and I feel sports psychology was one of the untapped resources at the high school level.

Thank you again and the team and I look forward to having you back

Hey Coach, it’s Matt West. I just wanted to say thank you for all the things you thought when i was a youngster. I was looking through old emails and I stumbled on the evaluation you gave me back in 2009 and I’m still developing on some of the things you touched on even then. I just wanted to say thank you for pushing me and being hard on me because it’s paying off in the long term. Hope all is well.

I especially enjoyed your camp, compared to others because you actually take the time to focus on the skills we need to work on individually as opposed to just our team as a whole. You take the time to break down everyone’s fundamentals one by one. I think using the video camera is a great idea because a coach may tell us “your taking too many negative steps ore your approach is “goofy footed” and a camper may reply ok, when most likely it will mean nothing to them. However, when we are able to see what we are doing right and wrong it is a lot easier to correct. Thanks again for a great camp.

On behalf of the Cut Shot Volleyball Club, I would like to thank you for your coaches clinic on Monday night. As our club director I felt it was important to reach the various experience levels of our coaching staff. I am confident that after your presentation that our club is more prepared to do a better job coaching our athletes. It is great to have all the coaches on the same page.

All the coaches were impressed with your organization. You not only prepared well for the clinic but your approach was interactive and fun.

Your philosophy of whole training was especially beneficial in assisting our coaches in making practice plans. The information that you presented on how to structure drills and your post practice analysis is incredible. Several coaches commented that they didn’t realize how integrate coaching volleyball could be.

My favorite exercise with the coaches was fixing their drills. It was great the coaches presented their favorite drills and our group evaluated the drills based on the criteria you had set forth. The criteria you presented made all the drills better through implementing more game like repetitions. We plan on putting together a book of drills that all of our coaches can use of course following the guidelines you presented to our club.

Since the clinic I have emailed all the coaches the charts and materials that you left with the club. It is very valuable to have all of your years of research available to our club. Our coaches are set up and ready to go.

I can’t thank you enough for coming down and presenting to our club. It exceeded my expectations and all of our coaches are better as a result of your visit.
