The Volleyball By Design Podcast

As a player on a volleyball team, this podcast has helped me interpret my coach better, as well as learning how to play volleyball more efficiently, and use different strategies to increase my progress as a player. I’ve gotten several years better within the past few months (more progress than i’ve made in 3 years.) Keep up the good work.

Have you ask yourself “is it me”? This episode really resonated with me. Over the past 2 years, I felt that I was the reason why my teams weren’t growing or maximizing their full potential. It all started with a few kids quitting, kids that were my ride and die. That left a huge burden, feeling of “what could I have done better”. I am a big culture coach and value it before winning. Culture meaning displaying good sportsmanship, being a good teammate, & championship effort in practice. Coach B, I am a big fan of you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

This pod improved my coaching, without question. Great topics, ideas, and explanations, and Coach’s voice and speaking style are super engaging.

I’ve been listening to the podcast for about a year now off and on and I have just about listened to every episode now, (not exactly in order) but I have been able to take a ton of value away from these episodes. I didn’t play volleyball in Highschool but after taking a huge interest in the sport in college, I started the club team at our college because I felt like there needed to be a place for guys to play competitively. The problem was that I didn’t really know what I was doing because I was never formally taught how to play. This podcast has given me the ability to learn the game at a high level and actually teach my players and coach them well. Often times I end up teaching things that I don’t even fully understand but because I have listened to this podcast and have learned the concepts, it works for my players even if I’m not sure why something works. I’m super grateful for this resource and I plan to keep listening for a long time!
