Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Coach Chijo Episode: Make It Fun
Q: If you had to make one change to the club system, let's say you were named club commissioner for the day and you could make some changes, what would one of those changes be?
He would allow unlimited substitutions for any player in any position so coaches can give more players playing time and use them in different roles.
The Coach Chijo Episode: Make It Fun
Q: When you teach, let's say, a standard, let's say, float serve or jump float serve to a 12 to 14-year-old player, what are some of the words you use?
He uses the cue “grunt” to encourage core engagement and shoulder rotation, and “hide the candy” to help players push the toss forward instead of tossing it overhead.
Coaching Volleyball with Bear Grassl
Q: How do you use video and data to help players improve?
Use Hudl for quick feedback on kill percentages and error rates, and pair stats with video so players can see exact moments and learn to adjust their approach in real time.
Coaching Volleyball with Bear Grassl
Q: What are the key elements you focus on to develop players quickly in a mixed-experience roster?
Prioritize playing and game-like drills, give frequent positive feedback on what went right, and ensure players understand how to adapt to different ball placements and setter situations.
Thinking Again with Mas Shibata Part 1
Q: What has been the big trend in volleyball over the last five years?
The hosts and Mas agree that increasing tempo and fast offense has become widespread, but Mas cautions that this should be weighed against margin for error and overall effectiveness rather than chasing speed for its own sake.
