Episode Notes

In this episode, I sit down with national championship-winning coach Carolyn O’Dwyer to break down the standards, systems, and training environment behind her team’s title run after falling short the year before.

In this episode:

  • How to build practices that are harder than matches
  • The standards that drive consistency and performance
  • Developing multiple offensive weapons
  • The key stats that actually matter (and how to use them)
  • Training athletes to problem-solve in game situations
  • Structuring preseason for success
  • Developing outsides (serve receive, attacking tools, decisions)
  • Why repetition and quality reps matter
  • Balancing competition vs experimentation in practice
  • The core principles behind a championship culture

A must-listen for coaches who want to build more consistent, high-performing teams.
