    Ask The Directors: Making the Journey Easier - PART 3

    In Part 3, the final episode of our Ask the Directors series, Coach Korohen and Coach Scott bring the conversation full circle with practical advice, reflection, and a little fun. They start by sharing simple but impactful ways parents can make tournament weekends easier and less stressful for their athletes. From there, they reflect on favorite memories from coaching at United and the moments that remind them why relationships matter just as much as results. The episode wraps with some lighthearted questions - from choosing a “United Volleyball theme song” to building a dream team from our coaching staff - offering a behind-the-scenes look at the people, personalities, and values that shape our club. Thanks to all of the families and athletes who submitted questions throughout this series. Your curiosity and honesty helped shape these conversations, and we’re grateful to be part of the journey with you! 📝 SHOW NOTES - PART 3Tips from Coach Korohen and Coach Scott for reducing stress on tournament weekendsWhy preparation, consistency, and parent energy matterCreating a supportive environment before athletes ever step on the courtMoments that go beyond wins and lossesChoosing a “United Volleyball” theme songBuilding a volleyball team from United coaches

    Ask the Directors: Supporting the Whole Athlete - PART 2

    In Part 2 of our Ask the Directors series, we shift the focus from the court to the bigger picture - how to support young athletes in a healthy, sustainable way. This episode dives into multi-sport participation, how parents can encourage skill development without burnout, and what meaningful support really looks like for athletes who are new to volleyball or new to United. We also touch on future opportunities, including beach volleyball, boys’ recruiting pathways, and options for athletes who want to play in college without being on a national team. Rather than focusing on quick results, this conversation centers on guidance, balance, and long-term development - the pieces that help athletes stay healthy, confident, and connected to the sport. 📝 SHOW NOTES - PART 2Specialization vs. multi-sport participation: when to lean in and when to pull backFueling for practices and competition: nutrition guidance we trust and whyEncouraging skill work at home without pressure or burnoutHow parents can best support growth - and what to avoidWhat to expect from United’s spring beach volleyball programRecruiting pathways for boys in volleyballPlaying in college without a national team background

    Grateful to Be Better Together

    This week, we’re gathering the voices that have shaped Better Together from the beginning. In honor of Thanksgiving, we pulled answers to one question we ask every guest - “What does it mean to be better together?” - from across both seasons. It’s a celebration of the people, stories, and shared values that make our community what it is… and a reminder of how thankful we are for each of you. From all of us at United, thank you for being part of our community - for showing up, growing with us, and reminding us that we’re all better together. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Revisiting the Recruitment Journey: How United Athletes Found Their Fit

    As many of our former United athletes near the end of their first college volleyball seasons, we’re taking a look back at where their journeys began - the recruitment process. This episode revisits their original conversations from last season, where they shared how they found their fit, made their decisions, and prepared for life at the next level. Recruitment is more than just choosing a program - it’s about understanding who you are as a player and a person. These stories highlight the lessons, mindset, and trust it takes to step confidently into the next chapter. We can’t wait to catch up with these athletes later this winter to hear how the transition to college life has shaped them - how they’ve grown, adapted, and continued building on the foundation they’ve worked hard to create.
