The Volleyball By Design Podcast

This is a topic that is hard to articulate, you can't learn it anywhere on the web but it's extremely important and every high level coach has this in their gym. And that is creating a system and standard of excellence and maintaining that during practices and over the course of a season. In this episode, we dive into:

• What does it look like to create a high standard of excellence 


• What I see in the best gyms in the world 


• Strategies to implement this in your gym 


• Finding the balance 


• Creating pressure 


• What it involves from the coach 


• The little things that coaches miss in practice but are important

This episode dives into the intangibles of volleyball — the non-skill, non-system factors that directly impact game play, lineup decisions, and winning. We break down the habits, awareness, and behaviours that coaches need to be aware of but don’t always explicitly coach, and why they matter so much on match day. Some things we cover are: 

• Being surprised on the court 


• Coming down from the block 


• Switching 


• Setter Coverage 


• Screening 


• Communication 


• Engaging with the Ref 


• Attention to detail from athletes 


• And a few more key concepts
