  • Great wisdom for all aspects of the game

    The podcast has a great format and a wealth of practical wisdom. I’m a rookie coach and lucky to have senior coaches in the club I can consult but this podcast reveals questions I wouldn’t even know to ask about on my own. It really helped me form my identity and approach as I started out in this first season of mine.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Footwork, Hands & Decision Making with Canadian Olympian Setter Brett Walsh
Q: What are you thinking about when it comes to decision making and what are you teaching your setters?
First, emphasize that the quality of the set matters more than tactical decisions; train baselines with highly hittable sets, then build decision-making on top of that as players gain experience and can read blockers and ball location.
They Lost Last Year… Then Won a National Championship with Carolyn O'Dwyer
Q: What were the two big strategic factors you credit for reaching the national championship this year?
Carolyn highlights depth across all positions and the learning from last year's defeat as the key drivers—depth created a strong training environment, while returning athletes used their previous disappointment as motivation to improve and close the gap in big moments.
How 5x National Championship Coach Aaron Schulha Led a Championship Run With Trust, Freedom & Preparation
Q: Let's dive in. I want to start off with a really open ended question. What are the things that stand out about this year's national championship run?
The team had strong, committed players who could play freely under pressure, a solid leadership group, and a supportive coaching staff including a mental conditioning coach. The program's consistency, trust in the game plan, and continuous video/scouting work helped keep players prepared and adaptable.
Inside A National Championship System (Earn 17, Lose 8) with 2026 USPORTS National Championship Coach Adam Schriemer
Q: Who are you and how did you get into coaching?
Adam shares his journey from a standout TWU player who won national championships to returning as an assistant and then head coach, emphasizing the transition from player to coach and the influence of mentors.
The Mental Game: Building Confident, Resilient Volleyball Players With Paige Tonz
Q: How do you help players with low confidence?
Build belief through consistent, supportive coaching, one-on-one conversations, and creating an environment where players feel understood and have a plan to improve and contribute.
