Who is Envy?

About me

I spent the first 18 years of my life in the Chicago suburbs getting through school and playing various sports. One sport that I really fell in love with was volleyball and I'm still very involved, as I'm currently coaching at Eich's Volleyball Club (EVC) in Plainfield, IL. 

I've had a bunch of experience with video editing, videography and photography since high school, as it had always been another passion of mine. So much so, that I began filming my team's matches with my GoPro and using all the footage to create highlight videos for each of my teams and players.

After a couple years of working hard and improving my skills, I feel confident enough to offer my services to young athletes who need to establish a highlight video to give to colleges and recruiters.

ENVY's Mission

One of the most gratifying things about coaching competitive youth volleyball is helping kids become better players and better people. Whenever I hear of an athlete's goals, whether it be short-term or long-term, I'm always eager to jump in and help as much as I can. That is when I came up with the idea to start ENVY!

So many young players claim they want to play their sport in college, but a majority of them are more unprepared than they think. If you have a university or two that you're considering playing for, you should send them a short video demonstrating your skills and achievements, so the coach/recruiter knows exactly who you are, how you play and what to expect from you. They are not going to know how good of a player you are if you just send them an email with nothing attached.

This is where ENVY can help! My goal with this service is to aid as many college prospects as possible to guarantee their success in the future. Even if you don't have any film and it's your senior year in high school, I can still find many ways to help! I work closely with parents and players to make sure we're giving your athlete their best opportunity to succeed.
