Sports Performance Certification

Boost Court Performance with Volleyball-Specific Strength Training 

How can you win more matches? Build a stronger, more powerful team. 

Volleyball players who participate in performance training are physically stronger, so they’re able to generate more power at greater speeds. This leads to jumping higher, hitting harder and digging and blocking more balls. Athletes also sustain fewer injuries because they have better balance and stronger joints. This means you’ll have a healthier team that can perform at a high level all season long.

In the Sports Performance Certification, you’ll get an introduction to the basics of sports performance training along with key exercise science and joint mobility concepts. You’ll also learn about muscle activation, dynamic movement and cardiovascular training. In addition, you’ll get tips for speeding up the recovery process and preventing injuries. Once you complete the certification, you’ll be able to design and implement your own training program that will transform your players into power athletes.  

When you subscribe, you’ll get instant access to more than four hours of detailed instruction along with volleyball-specific exercises from Matt Mosebar, a top NSCA Certified Personal Trainer who is also a former All-American in football, basketball and volleyball.  

After completing this certification, you’ll understand how to:  

  • Assess your athletes and their individual physical needs
  • Replicate the movements and forces seen on the court
  • Load volleyball-specific movements in a controlled setting
  • Transfer weight room actions to the court 
  • Fix biomechanical imbalances
  • Gauge training volumes and recognize signs of overtraining
  • Speed up the recovery process
  • Design and implement your own training program


You’ll also get transcriptions of each lesson, exclusive 24/7 access to the “members only” online forum, and, if you're a Premium member, unlimited entry to the expansive Art of Coaching Volleyball library where you can view an additional 2,500 coaching videos and download valuable coaching resources.  

We know how hard it can be to fit a certification into an already busy schedule. That’s why we made it self-paced, so you can go through it as quickly or slowly as you want. If you’re time-starved, you may want to watch just one or two videos at a time. If you’re able to block off a few hours, you’re welcome to tackle the entire program in one sitting. 

Either way, the faster you work through the program, the sooner you’ll improve your team’s athletic performance on the court. Imagine your players digging hard-driven balls consistently, chasing down errant passes with ease, running up the kill count and roofing the opponent more often. You can make it all happen with the insider secrets you’ll find in the Sports Performance Certification.  

If you’re ready to optimize your team’s athletic performance, avoid injuries and win more matches, this is the tool that can help get you there. Are you ready to get started?

Q: What happens if I fail a quiz?

Don’t worry if you don’t do well on a quiz; it won’t go on your permanent record. Just retake it as many times as you need to. The quizzes are designed to test your knowledge, not prevent you from earning your certification.
