How We Got Here.
EmpowHER was born from the idea that I wanted my daughters to be more than a profile and to be treated as such. Beyond the offer is our focus here at EAC.

Our Story.
As a parent, I’ve encountered countless questions athletes face—how to prevent injuries, what to eat before a game, how do I approach a coach, or how to stay mentally strong. As a father of two girls, I know I can’t always relate to their experiences in a male-dominated space. I realized that if my daughters had these questions, so did thousands of female athletes.
That’s why I started EmpowHER Athlete Collective. I wanted to create a place where girls, like my girls, could find answers, share experiences, and learn from each other. Jim Collins once said, “Great vision without great people is irrelevant.” That’s why I’ve brought together the best people to help you navigate your athletic journey.
In sports, chaos and uncertainty are guaranteed. But with the right support system, you’re never alone. Whether you need tips on mental performance, nutrition, recruiting, or just a community of like-minded athletes, we’ve got you covered.
At EmpowHER, we believe in the power of connection. We thrive in community, and here, you’ll find a space to learn, grow, and evolve—surrounded by athletes who are there to support and lift you up.
Stronger Together.
Welcome to EmpowHER Athlete Collective.
Speed, Strength
nowadays, it’s everywhere. What sets you apart isn’t just what you can do—it’s what you’re about. It’s how you carry yourself, how you approach the game, how you understand the game.
Show up different
as a competitor who’s ready in mind, body, spirit, and purpose. Knowing that hard times will come, but you’ll accept them, learn from them, and develop from them.
You've Prepared
for this in ways that can’t be measured in highlight reels-you have conviction.
The Athlete No One Saw Coming.
Our Mission.
At EmpowHER Athlete Collective, our mission is to guide female volleyball players through the recruiting process and help them prepare for the challenges of college athletics — especially Year One.
We lead with what they’re looking for: recruiting support, exposure, and guidance. But we also deliver what they’ll need next — a foundation built on mental performance, physical preparation, emotional resilience, and personal growth.
We believe that thriving as a college athlete takes more than talent. That’s why we focus on developing the 360 Athlete — mind, body, spirit, and purpose — through mentorship, expert resources, and a supportive community.
You're good enough to play. Are you ready enough to stay?
Necessary Pivots.
From The Next Athletes
to EmpowHER Athlete Collective
What started as an exposure and recruiting platform only, quickly turned into a community for like-minded athletes. We realized that athletes need more than just visibility—they need holistic support. As we connected with athletes, we discovered they were seeking guidance on everything from mental performance and nutrition to how to approach a coach and admissions.
That’s when we realized the power of community. Social media couldn't offer the real connection athletes craved, so we pivoted to create EmpowHER Athlete Collective—a space where athletes can thrive in mind, body, spirit, and purpose. This is where athletes come for the guidance, support, and connection they need ensuring they’re ready for year one.
