The Learn Beach Volleyball Fast Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Already well known within Norway, but maybe popularized or at least brought to attention to the rest of the beach volleyball world by the Beach Volley Vikings video released a few years ago (https://youtu.be/tcPPemwQUL8?si=XKJlHYtRu1EZ2UOU), is the "Hogwarts of Volleyball" aka ToppVolley school in Sand, Norway.

A number of weeks ago I happened to meet and play beach volleyball with Leon Saltbones Lauvland, a recent graduate from the very same school and an interesting guy overall (who had also partly worked for the school and has his own Youtube channel), so I proposed that we'd record a podcast episode as a bit of an "inside look" of what it's like going to probably the worlds most famous volleyball specific highschool.

He agreed and let me pick his brains for a couple of hours, and here's the result. We talk about lots of topics in this episode of the Learn Beach Volleyball Fast podcast, what daily life is like at the school, how they get trained there, some of the philosophies of the school, injury prevention but also making the most out of injuries... As always we also of course talk some even more beach volleyball specific stuff, which this time was mostly about "recycling" a ball that has been set too close to a big opponent blocker, and playing well with different partners.

There was probably more also that I don't remember right now! But overall I am happy with this episode, I think there will be something of value for almost any beach volleyball interested listener out there, so why not kickstart 2024 with some fresh perspectives on how one can think about becoming an even better player?!

Comments and thoughts more than welcome as always! (Youtube link for comments section: https://youtu.be/jSHFo26epbM)

In this episode I take a walk around the lake with 2 time Swedish beach volleyball Olympian Björn Berg, picking his brain about all sorts of things beach volleyball that I find interesting and helpful!

Feel free to take a walk and listen at the same time, I can almost guarantee you'll learn a thing or two that you can apply to your own game in one way or another!

Topics covered are: Collaboration with your playing partner, smart attacking (and what it is), sports psychology and the mental game (both as an individual and within the team), longevity (how to play the game at a high level for a long time), confidence and serve receive, and more!

--------------------------------------------

During the "smart attacking" part of the episode, Björn talked a fair bit about the power of being able to control the ball with one's wrist. I can't guarantee Björn would agree with everything I personally tend to teach about using the wrist, but if you want to dive deeper into the topic, here's at least one very well liked video that I have made about using the wrist when attacking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZd-UMM6is8

Is there a different way of going about becoming a better beach volleyball player than what most players do?

There definitely is, and this episode has in a sense two different missions: The first one is to invite you to see new possibilities in terms of how to gain new skills and become a better player, and the second one is for you to understand the background of the Learn Beach Volleyball Fast project better - so that you and all other beach volleyball players can gain more value from it in the future.

Welcome to the first solo-episode on the Learn Beach Volleyball Fast podcast! When starting this podcast, I wanted to create lots of different types of episodes, and this type of episode was definitely a part of the plan.

In some of these solo-episodes, I will follow a simple formula: personal development concept + beach volleyball = episode idea. Basically I will take lessons from the personal development/business/self help/psychology space and apply them specifically to beach volleyball.

This will lead to two things:

1. An interesting way to get introduced to ideas that can help you in your life in general.

2. Next level beach volleyball advice. Sometimes, about the game, sometimes about how to think about your development as a player, sometimes something else.. No matter what, this stuff is here to help you learn beach volleyball faster.

This first solo episode will be about a concept called opportunity cost, and how doing things that are good for you can still destroy you because these things are at the same time hindering you from doing something that would be even better for you. Hope you enjoy!

And since this is my first solo-episode, I probably have tons to learn for future episodes. So don’t hestitate to send me feedback so I can make better episodes for you guys, either to alex@learnbeachvolleyballfast.com or in the Youtube comment section for this episode.

Youtube comment section: https://youtu.be/pwPbGlp2fqw (Go here for leaving feedback, but also to read and share your own examples of opportunity cost in action within beach volleyball.. Together with discussions we can make the learning moments from this episode even bigger!)

We touch lots of topics that can help you become a better player, like attacking vision and strategy, blocking, passing, competitiveness, efficient practice, practicing by yourself, and more!
