  • Well done

    Some excellent thinkers in the game of volleyball on what a coach should be. Jason has been one of my “mentors” in my journey as a coach. Well done in bringing his thoughts and stories to our learning process. Keep em coming.

  • Motivating and entertaining

    This podcast goes beyond volleyball. As a parent I find myself thinking about my own individual children, their needs and struggles and how I can be a better “coach” to them in life. Highly recommend and love Thompson as the facilitator and host of these conversations. She’s superb.

Player Development & Team Culture with Brian Keefe of Washington Wizards
Q: How do you balance routine and adaptability in training and development?
Establish consistent routines and structures for daily life and training, but create game-like, stressful learning environments that push decision-making while retaining moments where players feel confident with certain reps.
The Deeper Impact of Volleyball: From Leadership to Resilience
Q: How would you teach someone to give everything without letting it become their identity?
Encourage total commitment while grounding self-worth in relationships and love from family and friends, maintaining a foundation where players know they are valued beyond results and can recover from setbacks.
The Deeper Impact of Volleyball: From Leadership to Resilience
Q: At this point in your career, how important is winning and how would you define success?
Winning is enjoyable when it's achieved as a team, but true success includes raising volleyball's profile, helping more young people grow into their best selves through the sport, and expanding access and opportunities to play at any level.
The Deeper Impact of Volleyball: From Leadership to Resilience
Q: I want to start by asking both of you, what would you hope youth coaches understand really well?
Belonging and inclusivity should be foundational, with coaches setting the tone so every player feels valued regardless of skill, and emotional awareness helps everyone leave off-field tensions behind before practice.
