15 - Creating a Team Culture
I sit down to chat with the coaching staff for UW-Green Bay: Abbey Sutherland (Head Coach), Korey Schroeder (Assistant Coach), and Delaney McCreary (Assistant Coach) to talk about how to build a team culture, what UW-GB has done to shape their program and athletes, and transferring this to the youth level. So many great nuggets in this episode! And a fun call back to Trevor Ragan's Anti-Talent Show!

14 - From Player to Coach - w Marouane Jafir
This week BJ LeRoy is my guest cohost and we chat with Marouane Jafir. Marouane is an experienced volleyball player with his roots starting in his home country of Morocco! He has a bunch of cool stuff on his resume like Player of the Year, Player Honors, etc etc. Basically he's awesome. He's currently the Club Director of Delaware United Volleyball Club and if you look at his Facebook profile, it looks like his favorite thing to do is fish. We talk about how he went from a player on the Moroccan National Team to a coach in Delaware and a well regarded CAP Cadre! Him and BJ are besties so they'll share some fun stories in the mix too.

13 - Punishments
David Cordes, the Director Ridgecrest Starlings Volleyball Club, joins me and BJ to talk about punishments. David is the perfect guy to talk to about this because he's an everyday coach just like us! He despises the use of punishments in the gym and talks to us about all the ways coaches try to justify it. Be prepared for a lot of moaning and groaning from me. Coaches - we are better this.

12 - Coaching Efficiently w Alexis Lebedew
This episode, I'm joined by Alexis Lebedew! He's a jack of trades, sharing his insight across volleyball, gymnastics, and coaches in general! Alexis has coached with the Australian national team (and even made an appearance in the Sydney Olympics), NCAA collegiate programs, and is currently working with coaches in the gymnastics field in Singapore! We have a question.... Why do we coach this? Is it because this is the way we've always done it? Is it really effective and the best use of our time? BJ LeRoy from UW-Green Bay / Badger Region is here too!

09 - Returning Safely
COVID-19 has completely turned the volleyball world upside down, for good and bad. This week, Pat and I are talking to Tim Doyle and Alex Brodjeski. Tim is the the current Head Volleyball Coach at William & Mary going into his 3rd season. Alex Brodjeski is the Athletics Performance Coach at William & Mary and comes from a club volleyball background with Northern Lights. They recently worked on a research project called Engineering Winning Volleyball. What they didn't realize was that with COVID-19 hitting the country, their work would be even more important. This project goes over Return to Play research and suggestions for teams returning to the court after the pandemic. You can access their work on my website or click here.

08 - Coaching Youth Volleyball
Pat Madia turns the tables and asks ME about coaching younger players. Over the years, I've turned my focus from high schoolers to the youngins and haven't turned back! I'll talk about all the things that make me successful, enjoy this age group, and of course - the usual Sara and Pat banter. Coaches Manifesto from USA Volleyball
