I'm doing now.
🏐Design and creative direction and things like that.
🏐I don't think life is about compartmentalising who you are and I think we all have so much capability and are so much more dynamic than we might even understand.” head to vooberlin.com to read the story

Love how coach asks questions..
.
✔️Important to find out how players make their decisions
✔️Can’t always assume you know what they’re thinking and why .. best to ask.. some intentions are correct but execution can be improved upon
✔️great way to find out if they’ve been listening to you

probably the most asked question I get is how I went from a walk-on at UCSB & losing my love of the game, to an All-American & National Champion at Texas… and the answer is FILM STUDY!
I decided to take control of my learning experience and I began watching my own practices and matches, as well as some professional volleyball. I closely watched some of the best liberos in the world play and figured out what techniques they were using to pass more efficiently and dig more balls than I was. then I created specific technique goals for each practice and watched the practice film to see if what I was trying to do was actually happening & how it was working. I did this every single day! slowly but surely my passing became more efficient, I started to dig more balls, and I found myself able to read the game faster.
ALL of that came from taking control of my learning process by watching film!! YOU CAN TOO :)

You don’t win at the highest level like @kimjayehill without being strong mentally. Kim talks about covering negative thoughts with positive ones to stay in the moment 🫡

A conversation with the legendary @danielle02scott 🤍
Danielle is the greatest to do it.
A @lbsuwvb National Champion and POTY, Danielle competed in 5 Olympics during her 22 years on the @usavolleyball Women’s National Team, receiving numerous Best Blocker, Best Spiker and MVP Awards.
Hear about her journey becoming one of the most elite of all time, her beautiful experience as a mother, and now her role is creating a home for American professional volleyball.

Kevin Hambly:’I think I would want it to say: Volleyball is what you do, not who you are. And that your identity isn't a volleyball player.
Your identity is whoever you are. And do everything you can to make sure that those are uncoupled.
Because if you're coupling it and it goes bad, if you're going bad as a player, then you're not okay.
If you wanna make the mistakes necessary to grow, it's hard, because you'll feel bad about yourself, because you're making those errors.
I just would want to do everything I can and do everything I can to uncouple those two things.’

So fired up to be on @realpod this week! We dive into confidence, grit, anxiety and authenticity.
It’s been so fun watching @victoriagarrick wrestle with these concepts and others that we ALL wrestle with - that impact our mental health and how we experience our pursuits - and come out on the other side of it feeling grounded and capable! I hope this conversation helps anyone listening find joy in their pursuit of what’s possible! #mindset #mentalhealth #mindfulness #confidence #authenticity #joy #happiness #challenge @competetocreate

I share alot of individual, partner and easy-to-do volleyball serving drills we do in class with my followers.
Many of these volleyball practice drills you can do at home by yourself or try at your next practice with your teammates.
If you're a B team or JV player trying to make varsity next year...your goal should be to complete 1000 reps a day of at least three of the basic skills on your own...volleyball passing, serving and setting should be at the top of the list.
Here are three options:
