Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Before the Opportunities: When Playing Wasn't a Given with Sherry Ammons (Part 1)
Q: Now, did you play at Montevallo?
Ammons describes playing for Dr. Blalock's team at Alabama College, later the University of Montevallo, where she competed across Alabama, earned a national volleyball officiating rating, and won a state championship.
Before the Opportunities: When Playing Wasn't a Given with Sherry Ammons (Part 1)
Q: Before Title IX, help us understand what Title IX was, what it was like before Title IX.
Ammons explains that girls had few chances to compete beyond intramurals and occasional play days, and faced rules and expectations that restricted their athletic participation. Title IX prohibited sex discrimination in education, including athletics.
Seeing the Game Differently with Maycor Carrion (Part 3)
Q: What is a stat or a piece of information that you think volleyball players spend way too much attention on or put too much importance on versus another stat or information that would be more helpful?
Carrion says players may overvalue their statistical totals. Coaches also assess whether they can be trusted to perform confidently and effectively during decisive points.
Seeing the Game Differently with Maycor Carrion (Part 3)
Q: What does the technical coordinator part actually mean for someone who does not live in the college volleyball world?
Carrion says technical coordinators scout opponents, identify tendencies and schemes, and equip their team to prepare for and win matches.
Reading the Game with Maycor Carrion (Part 2)
Q: What made you step into that other side? I know you kind of talked quickly about wanting to share your knowledge, but how did the opportunity come up? What really, and you went, oh my god, I really like this.
While at Trinity, Carrion was offered a student assistant coaching role by the women's coach. The experience helped him study opponents, understand why mistakes occurred, and see volleyball more technically, which also improved his play.
