Why Aren't More Boys Playing Volleyball? | Ep. 23

Why aren't more boys playing volleyball?

Coach Chijo sits down with Jake Wu, a high school senior and boys' volleyball setter from Boulder, Colorado, to explore why boys' volleyball hasn't grown as quickly as girls' volleyball and what might help change that.

They discuss the shortage of youth teams, the differences between the boys' and girls' games, serving strategies, the mental challenges of competition, and why some players don't discover volleyball until high school.

Jake also shares his perspective on what makes a great coach, how he handles competition and trash talk, and why volleyball is a sport he wants to play for the rest of his life.

Plus, some encouraging advice for younger boys who are nervous about trying out for their high school team.

A candid conversation about growing the game, coaching, competition, and the love of volleyball.
