One of the most powerful ways to coach involves using key words or phrases to help athletes learn skills. By "chunking" bits of information coaches can "lead" the athlete into the desired behavior, by calling out the word/phrase prior to the goal/behavior. This episode is all about key words that our coaches use to help their athletes learn various aspects of the game. They share their key words and phrases for each primary volleyball skill and they want to hear yours, too!
In our scenario segment, we do something new, and place the spotlight on a particular player and try to describe what makes him or her "so good". This episode's player spotlight is star opposite, Yuji Nishida, from Japan. He has taken the volleyball world by storm and is nothing short of a celebrity! He can also really play and we go in on how he is so dang effective!
Finally, they share information from the Junior Volleyball Association's beautiful, concise coaching resources

The VolleyPod is all about coaching kids volleyball! Each episode we cover 3 segments that are each designed to help you become a better volleyball coach. First, we focus on a specific volleyball skill, talk about how to teach it, and provide drills and video links for further help with that skill. Then, we present a common coaching scenario and discuss tips for how to (and how not to) handle it. In the third segment we share a resource that has helped us to become a better coach, with the hopes that it can help you too! See you on the pod!
