Welcome back to the podcast! Today we’re diving into some of the details that separate good coaches from great ones. We talk about training your eyes off the ball and why the best coaches see so much more than just the contact. We get into the power of communication — how you say something can matter even more than what you say — and why delivery changes how athletes receive feedback.
We also break down building purposeful drills that actually transfer to the game, not just drills that look good in practice. And at the heart of it all, we reflect on why we coach in the first place — the impact, the relationships, and the responsibility that comes with leading athletes.
As always, we’ve got shoutouts, stories, and a Quote of the Day to wrap things up. Let’s get into it!

More Than a Game: Honoring Todd Lyon + Building Stronger Teams
This episode is a special one.
We take a moment to honor and give a heartfelt shoutout to original I AM Volleyball Director, Todd Lyon—someone who helped lay the foundation for what this club is today.
From there, we dive into one of the most important (and often overlooked) parts of a successful season: team bonding. How do you build it? More importantly, how do you keep it strong when things get tough?
Poddy Training is back, featuring three players from our 15 Red team as they share their real experiences transitioning from 8th grade to high school volleyball—what changed, what challenged them, and what helped them grow.
We also break down key serve receive strategies and mental tips to give you that extra edge when it matters most.
It’s a longer episode—but packed with value, perspective, and real conversation.
Buckle up.
