Friday, August 30, 2024 • Duration 49:40

Newly returned from Paris, two-time Olympic medalist and LOVB Salt Lake setter Jordyn Poulter rehashes her experiences at the 2024 Olympic Games. Jordyn set Team USA to second place, earning an unexpected medal after a shortened quad full of injuries and tough matches. If there’s one thing to take away from Team USA’s silver medal, it's the importance of team roles and cohesiveness. Whether they started or entered as a substitute, each player on the roster played an important part during the U.S.’ run to the podium. Jordyn and host Courtney Thompson discuss the importance of roster construction and cohesiveness, the emotional aspect of big tournaments and more in the latest episode of Beyond the Court.

It’s not the technical prowess that’s sent over 400 athletes into college volleyball, but the culture in the gym. Matt and Reed have put people and relationships first at Club V and use those as keys to unlocking human potential. They’ve instilled a desire to improve in their athletes, but success isn’t the key result at Club V. Happiness and improvement is, and that’s what they emphasize through their programs.

Season 1 · Episode 8

Friday, September 20, 2024 • Duration 50:14

After years of out-hustling people on the court – proven by leading USC to back-to-back titles – Nicole Davis realized she needed more once she entered the Team USA gym. She needed an edge, and training her mental skills just like she did her physical skills lifted her to the Olympics and two silver medals. During the latest episode of Beyond the Court, she talks with longtime friend and former U.S. teammate Courtney Thompson about her path to mindset training and the importance of feeling good on the court. Coaches can play an outsized role in this by providing agency to athletes, helping them work through anxiety, and centering their language around optimism and strengths.

Doing Less Better with Suzie Fritz

Season 1 · Episode 9

Monday, October 21, 2024 • Duration 57:04

Suzie Fritz has been around coaches her entire life. Her mother was a coach, as were her father and brother. She even married a coach. It should be no surprise that she herself went into the family business and has spent 30 years coaching volleyball. During her illustrious career, Suzie has developed a mantra: do less, and do it better. One cannot coach everything at once – she’ll be the first to say that – so by narrowing her focus on one topic at a time, she’s been able to concentrate on one aspect of her team’s play and get stronger results. She’ll bring that mantra to the pros as head coach at LOVB Omaha Volleyball, something that she and host Courtney Thompson discuss during the latest episode of Beyond the Court.
