Win By Two Volleyball Podcast - 011 - Jessy Satti & Jacob Barker

On this episode of Win by Two, Jessy sits down with Jacob Barker, Competition Lead for the Ontario Volleyball Association, to talk about the work that goes into organizing and growing competitive volleyball across the province.

Jacob gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the OVA — from managing competitions and major events to navigating the rapid growth of volleyball in Ontario. We discuss the challenges that come with that growth, how competitions continue to evolve, and what the future could look like for athletes, coaches and clubs.

We also dive into Jacob’s own volleyball journey as a coach, including his experience at Brock University and his next chapter as Head Coach of the Algonquin College Men’s Volleyball program.

A great conversation about the game from a perspective most athletes, parents and coaches don’t usually get to see.
