Jake Barreau brings 13 years of NCAA Division I volleyball coaching experience to Elite VB Prospects — with stops at Wisconsin, Missouri State, Oklahoma, Illinois State, Michigan State, and Alabama. He made a name for himself as a nationally-renowned recruiter in the collegiate game, recruiting four Top 25 classes at three different universities. Along the way, Jake helped develop 8 All-Americans, contributed to 6 NCAA Tournament appearances, 4 conference championships, and a National Championship appearance. As a former standout player himself, Jake is a 2x Big Ten Men's Volleyball Association Defensive Player of the Year and All-Conference honoree — bringing both elite playing and coaching experience to every athlete he works with.

Julia Hanson is a Division I volleyball athlete with 10 years of coaching experience across both beach and indoor. A certified personal trainer specializing in corrective performance, Julia brings a player-development lens to every athlete she works with. Now in her second year with Elite Volleyball, she coordinates the day-to-day of the recruiting program — keeping athletes on track, families informed, and the process moving.

Julia's coaching style is rooted in the philosophy behind her own training practice: real change happens with patience, consistency, and respect for the athlete's foundation. Rather than chasing trends, she builds personalized programs around each athlete's unique needs and goals — favoring intelligent movement, honest guidance, and small steady improvements that compound into lasting strength and confidence.
