We had the good fortune of connecting with Beth Albert and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Beth, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The process to start our own volleyball academy was simple. After Covid I used the opportunity to create my own vision for a complete academy to teach and mentor young athletes to enjoy the love of the sport.
Being able to teach and mentor these young athletes while showing local girls the fast growing sport is not just limited to our area but is a national sport they can all aspire to compete in.
Being able to control the culture and give opportunities to families who could not otherwise afford the chance to be included was a great way to give back as well.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I have been involved for over 20 years, in many aspects of the sport of volleyball.
During Covid I brainstormed with my family about opening up our own club and academy.
Once the community slowly opened back up we started literally with one athlete, but had faith it would become more.
The faith and wait became a worthwhile endeavor, we now have a waitlist for fundamental classes and several successful travel teams.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would take them to Fort Lauderdale beach. There are many beach volleyball tournaments, great families and wonderful sand and sun.
The dining along Las Olas has many great dining choices and a great night life to enjoy.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My children are definitely deserving of a lot of credit towards motivating myself and a big credit towards the success of our Volleyball Academy. Their involvement and encouragement has helped me show them that if you want to succeed you must pursue your dreams.
