"Playing Time" Identity
It's a great sport and I love it, but the sport doesn't define me and it shouldn't define you.

Recruiting the Libero Position
*Originally posted September 26th, 2022 I have said in many of my seminars that the libero position is one of the toughest positions to get recruited in volleyball. It's probably a toss-up between the libero and the 6-2 setter as to which is actually the toughest. Either way you want to look at it, it's really hard to get recruited as a libero.

The Impact of the Transfer Portal
*Originally posted 5/8/2023 I have had this theory since we got into the club season and Triple Crown (2nd weekend of February) weekend started.

June 15th There is a lot of buildup leading into the June 15th contact date and for good reason. It's the first time that college coaches
