Based out of the Baltimore metropolitan area, M2 Volleyball was founded to provide quality technical training to athletes from as young as 9 years of age through to our college bound athletes. Our training is built on years of experience in making athletes successful on the county, region, state, and collegiate levels. We provide our athletes with a solid foundation to the sport of volleyball, and help them pursue their aspirations of continuing to play through to the collegiate level. M2 Training was founded by Michael Rainbow and Monica Owensby, and both head coaches provide over two decades of success as well as numerous Coach of the Year awards, Gatorade Player of the Year accolades, All-Metro & All County Players of the Year, All-County, All-Region, and long history of collegiate athletes at the Division 1 level. Our goal is to make our athletes the best that they can be, and to inspire those training in our program to reach for the next level and be better than they ever thought possible. We provide an intense training regiment focused on all of the aspects in making an athlete an elite player such as physical strength/agility,vertical training, mental strengthening, proper eating regiments, technical training, and high intensity camp environments.

What pushes you to the next level???

Posted on by m2volleyballmd

So what is it really that pushes our athlete’s to the next skill level or beyond their current abilities to excel? The truth of the matter is that is all begins with intrinsic “self” motivation! We provide the guidance and the experience to give all of our athletes the knowledge that they need when they are pursuing their own personal best, however it is the athletes that come to us truly motivated to become the best that find the most success. A talented athlete with mediocre motivation always tends to fall by the way side as other players develop and maybe those who are determined to get better but have less natural abilities pass them by.

How motivated are you? How determined are you to become better? Before you continue throwing money at club, training, or camps these are questions that you should sit down and ask yourself. Be honest and then whatever you decided go after your goals every day!

Camps & Technical training filling up fast!

Posted on by m2volleyballmd

Hello all!

Both Coach Monica & myself are excited to get back to work again this summer and watch the growth in our athletes. However as we continue to get closer to technical training (which begins Tuesday May 30th), the slots are filling fast. Currently I (Coach Mike) am filled, however Coach Monica still has slots on Tuesday’s and Thursdays. If you are looking to be pushed in your technique and training regiment don’t delay and contact us ASAP!

Also- both camps (Positional & High Intensity) are 1/2 full and we haven’t even gotten into May yet. We are only accepting 36 girls the first week, and 24 girls the second week with guest coaches Peter Russell & Ed Benish- you don’t want to miss out!

Let’s get to work!

 

What are your goals?

Posted on by m2volleyballmd

As we approach the half way point to the club volleyball season- where are you at with your pre-season goals? Did you make a plan to reach them? If you didn’t you just made a wish. How can you refocus and find a way to constructively go back at achieving what you set out to do at the beginning?

All of these questions are not so simply answered, but they all start with one common factor- YOU. You need to be setting your goals, a plan to achieve those goals, and approach your coach or coaches about how they can best help you recognize those results. Before you look at your coach or teammates take some time to look at yourself and as what have you been doing.
