About Us
Brian S. volz
FOUNDER / PRESIDENT
Former Collegiate Football Coach | ISSA - Certified Personal Trainer
I'm thrilled to introduce you to Volz Athletic Performance (VAP), a dynamic platform born from my 12 years of coaching experience that covered the DI, DII, DIII and high school levels. My passion for collegiate athletics and the intricate world of recruiting has led me to create VAP as a means to empower and guide determined student-athletes on their journey to success.
My coaching journey has been an incredible adventure, with each step paving the way for the creation of VAP. My recent role as the Co-Defensive Coordinator, Recruiting Coordinator, and Defensive Line Coach at North Greenville University allowed me to witness first hand the transformative power of mentorship and dedication. Fuelled by an unwavering commitment to bringing out the best in every individual, I've embarked on this new chapter to share my insights and knowledge with a wider audience. Since then, I have become fully certified as an International Sports Sciences Association Certified Personal Trainer (ISSA-CPT).
Before my tenure at NGU, my coaching path unfolded at Western Carolina University, where I honed my skills working with the Defensive Line and Outsider Linebackers. This also included enriching stops at Greensboro College and Smoky Mountain High School, where my coaching roots were firmly planted coaching both Football and Wrestling.
Throughout my coaching career, I've been fortunate to collaborate with exceptional talents, many of whom earned prestigious titles as All-Conference and All-American athletes. A notable standout among them is Chauncy Haney, a force to be reckoned with, who made waves as a 3rd Round pick in the 2022 USFL Draft by the Birmingham Stallions. Witnessing Chauncy and the Stallions seize victory in the 2022 USFL Championship was an electrifying highlight of my coaching journey.
Originating from the small town of Granite Falls, NC, my academic pursuits led me to Western Carolina University, where I earned dual degrees in Business Management and Marketing, complemented by a minor in Political Science. Beyond the field, I left an indelible mark as a rugby standout, leading WCU in tries during my junior and senior years.
When I'm not immersed in the world of coaching and athletics, you'll find me savoring life's pleasures alongside my amazing wife, Taylor, and our larger-than-life Bernedoodle, Brody. Whether exploring the great outdoors, embarking on exciting adventures, or scrambling around the golf course, every moment is a chance to create cherished memories and embrace the beauty of life.
At Volz Athletics Performance, we're more than just a training platform; we're your partners in success, guiding you through the intricate web of collegiate athletics and recruiting. Join me on this exhilarating journey as we equip you with the tools, knowledge, and mindset to conquer the challenges ahead, realizing your true potential and leaving an indelible mark on the world of sports. The future is bright, and together, we're poised for greatness!
