From growing up in a big sports-driven family to earning a college scholarship, Dana shares how burnout shifted her path—and how dance became the spark that reignited her athletic and creative fire. After college, she turned that passion into building the Volleyball Elite Academy, a powerhouse program offering mentorship, skill training, parent and recruitment resources, and competitive tournaments for young athletes chasing their dreams.

In this episode, Dana also opens up about deeply personal parts of her journey—stories she rarely shares but trusted the Shad Vs. Everybody audience enough to reveal. 💬
