Coach Adam

A_Line Coaching is led by Adam, an experienced volleyball coach with a deep passion for developing human beings. Adam grew up playing volleyball in Manitoba, competing for clubs like 204 Volleyball, where they earned a 5th-place finish in Division 1 at nationals. He went on to compete for Team Manitoba at the Canada Games in 2013 and spent five years playing in the CIS (now U Sports) with the University of Windsor. In his fourth year, he was ranked 3rd in the country for solo blocks, and in his fifth year, he boasted a .418 kill percentage while serving as team captain.

After Adam's university volleyball career concluded he made a push to pursue professional indoor volleyball with the help of a Dutch agency. In the meantime he was selected to Team Ontario's beach volleyball program and was inspired by an Olympic dream planted by his coach. He then decided to step away from indoor volleyball despite multiple contract opportunities and began to train full time in the sand all year. He then earned a spot in the Team Canada Beach program and competed on the FIVB and NORCECA tours for five seasons. Today Adam continues to compete at Kitsilano beach in Vancouver, remaining a top athlete in the community.

As a coach, Adam has worked with multiple clubs and schools across Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia, which includes programs with Team Manitoba and Team BC. He has had multiple podium finishes along the way. Adam also spent two seasons assistant coaching at the University of Manitoba alongside renowned coaches Garth Pischke and Arnd Ludwig.

Beyond volleyball, Adam brings a unique approach to training the body, incorporating functional movement techniques. He explores mental performance through flow state, habits, and the power of underlying belief systems. He has tested his performance with diets and fasting. And he has been enriched with experiences working with various practitioners. This includes athletic therapists, chiropractors, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and strength and conditioning coaches at the Canadian Sport Institute

Through A_Line Coaching, Adam combines his extensive experience to offer personalized training that emphasizes skill development, strategy, and confidence-building, helping individuals reach their highest potential both on the court and throughout their life's journey.
