Alex Haapamäki, creator of the Learn Beach Volleyball Fast project, beach volleyball coach, and elite level player. -Internationally known through his Youtube channel and podcast (Learn Beach Volleyball Fast) for providing some of the most in depth, nuanced and attention to detail beach volleyball instruction content in the world. -Locally known in Sweden and Norway for providing coaching that often within a session or two finds and fixes the root cause for problems that other coaches have been able to point out for years, but never been able to help the player actually fix. -Possibly the first player in the world who competes at an elite level after having started to learn the game at the "old age" of 24 with minimal ball sports experience in his childhood. Alex believes that him having had to consciously learn the whole sport "from scratch" as an adult has made him an expert in explaining and teaching the sport from a foundational perspective to other players who also lack the "natural talent." Words from a past client: Alex training has been a game changer for me. I have been struggling with bad technique habits for almost 10 years now. After only one week of highly individual training, I finally was able to implement proper and way more effective techniques. Not only in drills but also constantly during real matches. I tried a lot of beach camps. After each I saw little to no real change regarding my bad technique. The things I did wrong (for almost 10 years) were rooted that deep, that no standard training could tackle it. Alex has a very unique and off the book approach to target these kinds of deeply internalized bad patterns. Goofy foot step and ineffective arm swing were two of the problems we successfully tackled. Having fun was a big part of the training. I had a great time, and I am looking forward to next beach camp with you Alex. Thank you, man - I owe you big time!
