Discover how our Champions are unlocking their potential
“It’s not the will to win that matters — everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.”
- Paul "Bear" Bryant
Alan Knipe brings a wealth of information that each athlete and coach appreciated so much! His coaching is top notch, offering relevant drills for each player in attendance. He kept the athletes engaged mentally and physically. He helped prioritize some key takeaways for each athlete.
Beyond what he offered on the court with skill training, he also answered a lot of questions regarding recruiting and expectations of an athlete's mindset as they develop on and off the court. Alan offered a great framework for all the athletes to reference as they continue to improve their game. His coaching clinic touched on some strategy and breaking down each positions' skills for a DIV 1 program.
We would love to have him back in to run another coaching clinic to build off of what he taught us. He was so insightful and we look forward to having Champions Unlimited back in the gym! Thanks Alan for your time and knowledge of the game.

Alan Knipe and his staff made an immediate impact in our gym. They brought discipline, growth, and wisdom that allowed each player to make huge strides both physically and mentally. We look forward to having Champions Unlimited back in the gym again in the near future.

“Coach Alan Knipe brought an amazing amount of energy and expertise to his
Champions Unlimited Clinics at Toronto Volleyball Centre in August 2025. The
participants received easy to understand and effective cues to instantly implement into
the activities Coach Knipe designed for each session. His stories about his volleyball
journeys were entertaining and the young athletes were eager to hear more. Even our
coaches have adopted some of his cues – they are so easy to understand. Truly, one of
the most valuable clinics we have offered. Champions Unlimited is welcome back
anytime.”

Alan Knipe has been more than a coach to me—he’s been a true friend and mentor. He’s always willing to help in any way, no matter the situation.
What is most impressive is his ability to communicate; in one word, he is intentional—in his words, his actions, and his relationships. He’s not only been a mentor to me, but to so many others, and the respect he’s earned in the volleyball community is unmatched. His guidance, support, and friendship over the years have made me a better coach and person.
I’m also super excited about Champions Unlimited—because it gives him the chance to share not just his love of the game, but the thoughtfulness and care with which he teaches.
