Branded

Everything you do sends a message to others about who you are. If you want to add value, then do every job, big or small, to the best of your ability. Don’t give half an effort. Let others know that you can be counted on. Actions speak loudly. What are yours screaming about you?

What's your individual brand? When people hear your name, what's their first impression? Or whom do we associate with a given brand?

"The Voice" - Legendary sci-fi author Frank Herbert (Dune series) recognized the power of voice. Learn to use "The Voice." 

"The Quarterback" - in basketball, the point guard is the quarterback. In volleyball, it's your setter. Setters rely on skill and athleticism and elite decision-making. Decisions and accuracy are keys.

"The Alpha" - MVB thrives with talent. The past three seasons the Alphas were Elena Soukos, Gia Vlajkovic, and Sadie Jaggers, earning All-State and All-Scholastic honors. Nobody can honor themselves with that title; a dominant player must emerge. The Alpha gives a team what is needed when it has to be. 

"The Kid" - MVB blends experience and youth. The continual ascension of young players allows sustainable competitive advantage. The Kid can arrive at any position and impacts winning. Last year Sabine Wenzel was The Kid. Who will it be in '24? 

Lagniappe. "Get there."
