Have you ever thought to yourself, "Taylor could be such a great setter, she just needs a little fine-tuning and she could be the best in her league. If only I had more time to work with her." If so, you could probably run a great private lesson! Many coaches haven't considered running private volleyball lessons before... despite the fact that they'd make a huge impact on their players! Listen as I discuss why I love running private lessons, plus I share tips to help you get started by next weekend!

Alright Coaches, let's practice a little self-care this week! You spend so much time giving to others, it's important to take make some time for yourself, too! This week, I want to introduce you briefly to a "personality test" known as the Enneagram. This tool will help volleyball coaches better understand what motivates them (both positively and negatively) and can help you relate better with your fellow coaches and administrators. Learning about yourself is a great way to recharge so you can tackle another week!

Give yourself 15-20 minutes to take the test and learn more about yourself, and I guarantee it'll shift your perspective on how you approach coaching. Go to getthepancake.com/volleyball-podcast-episodes/57-enneagram for links to take a free test, and learn more about your type!

*As a head’s up, some parents may be uncomfortable listening to this episode with their children at first since we cover some sensitive topics. To respect every parent’s decision on how they address these topics with their kids, I encourage you to listen to this podcast first before listening with your child or talking to them about the topics in today’s episode.

While the sport of volleyball is growing to include more participants than ever, many players are being left out. The high cost of club and limited access to equipment,  dedicated coaches, and issues with the standard uniform prevents many children from ever stepping foot on the volleyball court.

I am THRILLED to address the topics of equity, inclusion, and discrimination in volleyball with the one and only, Koko Volley. Coach Koko has built a tremendous library of videos for volleyball players, all free to watch on her YouTube channel: Koko Volley.

Contrary to popular belief, coaching volleyball is about more than just running good drills. In fact, a lot of your success as a coach is based on what happens OFF the court. Team bonding activities, being organized, and communicating well with parents… these are the things that truly make a difference. And this podcast is all about advice for volleyball coaches, sharing new ideas, and bringing on guests who offer new perspectives.

I hope you enjoy the podcast and want to be the first to say, “welcome” to the Get The Pancake community.
