Episode Notes

What does it take to transform a program into a national powerhouse in record time? In our very first interview with a college head coach, SMU’s Sam Erger joins Tiff and Lindsay to break down her rise through the coaching ranks, her "full throttle" approach to roster-building, and how she balances high-stakes ACC volleyball while raising three young kids.

Plus, Sam opens up about carrying on her family’s coaching legacy, what SMU looks for in top recruits, and her take on SMU’s massive upcoming showcase events.
