Episode Notes

Most players think showing up to practice is the sacrifice. It's not. In this episode, I show coaches how to teach their athletes what a serious competitor actually looks like.

In this episode:

The line in the volleyball manual that every player signs, and why most don't understand it
Why showing up is the floor, not the ceiling
The ladder every athlete has to climb
How Daenan went from club to one of the best middles in the world
The honest truth: some gifted kids make it on talent, and some hard workers won't make it at all
The player who never made the roster but changed the whole program
How to teach this to every kid in your gym, even the ones who won't make it
