Ep. 60 - Playing the Crazy Recruitment Game

Episode 60

Monday, November 20, 2023 • Duration 01:34:49

It’s all rather exhausting and has evolved into a bit of a crazy ‘game’ over the past decade; and one that parents, players, and even coaches seemingly HAVE to play in order to get their young athletes into post-secondary college and university programs. But, is it the best way for coaches to find the REAL talent among the high school and club volleyball ranks, or are they only seeing the videos and carefully selected highlights of the players and parents who are just better at marketing (or have deep-enough pockets to hire the best marketers)?

Listen in as Zuby & Erik go deep on the fairness and thoroughness of the recruitment process today, and get into whether it’s still a game worth playing, and if it’s actually detrimental for players, parents, and coaches in its modern - & almost too convenient - form.

Ep. 59 - Coaching vs Yelling

Episode 59

Friday, November 10, 2023 • Duration 01:25:35

We tend to coach the way we were coached or accept it when we see coaches instructing the way we’ve seen them on tv or while we were growing up, but is coaching today different than it was ‘back in the day’ - or should it involve yelling at all? More to the point, is there a difference between coaching & yelling & can great coaches be ‘yellers?’ Listen in as the guys share a few laughs and draw upon their pro playing & coaching experience to discuss the somewhat controversial topic of ‘coaching vs yelling’ and whether or not yelling (or even screaming) has its time & place in the instructional arena of youth sports today.

Ep. 58 - Do Physical Punishments Work?

Episode 58

Sunday, October 22, 2023 • Duration 01:13:36

We’ve all likely experienced some form of physical punishment (running laps, touching lines, push-ups, etc.) at a practice - as a parent spectator, an athlete, or even as a coach who’s organizing the team consequence. Much like parenting, the debate has raged in sport over whether or not these kinds of punishments are actually effective in having young people learn lessons or perform better…or are they simply teaching children to be more afraid and nervous? Is there a time and place for these kinds of consequences for teams and players or are they merely tactics designed to intimidate and bolster a coach’s image? Listen in as the guys discuss the various ways and settings in which physical fitness has been used as a form of punishment and whether or not it serves a purpose while attempting to develop young athletes and mold a certain mindset.

Ep. 57 - The Decline of High School Volleyball

Episode 57

Tuesday, October 10, 2023 • Duration 01:09:48

Episode 57 - The Decline of High School Volleyball

What in the world is happening to high school volleyball? Of course, most high schools will struggle to court a team as good as one of the local club squads, but it seems that high school volleyball TODAY has really dropped off even when compared to high school programs from 10-20 years ago. So, what are the reasons why school volleyball is so far behind the club game and - more importantly - why does it seem worse than ever before? Listen in as the guys share a few laughs and discuss the obvious and not-so-obvious reasons behind the decline of high school volleyball.

Ep. 56 - Afraid to Talk To/About Your Volleyball Coach?

Episode 56

Monday, October 2, 2023 • Duration 01:16:23

Episode 56 - Afraid To Talk To/About Your Volleyball Coach?

Fear of retribution. That’s why so many parents & players are afraid to - even politely - voice concerns with coaches who hold all the power. While a lot of coaches would say that kids should learn to advocate for themselves (and this is absolutely true) - it’s also true that there is an imbalance of power and so many coaches use this power to punish those who question their decisions. Of course, the BEST and most knowledgeable coaches have an open atmosphere around their teams because they know the WHYS behind their philosophies extremely well, but many less knowledgeable and more insecure coaches hide behind the ‘self-advocacy’ line in order to keep communication lines closed and punish the parents or players who challenge their ‘authority.’ Listen in as the guys talk about this all-to-common ‘power play’ problem and how parents, coaches, and players can actually work together to ensure that no one feels threatened or disrespected - and that THE GAME & ALL PARTICIPANTS are the beneficiaries in the end.

Ep. 55 - When Coaches Listen to Complainers

Episode 55

Wednesday, September 20, 2023 • Duration 01:08:44

The problem with complaints is that we instantly get our ‘backs up’ when we hear them - but what if the complainers have a valid point that we’re simply not seeing? Or - what if they have a superficial understanding of the game and ‘don’t know what they don’t know?’ In other words, how do we know when complaints are valid and coming from qualified sources or if they’re frivolous and rooted in insecurities or something entirely different from the subject being discussed? Also, what happens when coaches abandon personal philosophies or previously stated standards by placating or listening to the ‘squeaky wheels?’ Listen in as Zuby & Erik discuss the complex nature of complaints and how coaches, players & parents can better assess and handle them when they arise - because they will. As always, they’ll share a few laughs and discuss the perils of when coaches listen to and ACT based on the complaints of the uninformed. ------------------ We hope you enjoy this podcast & all the FREE content created by the former pro players, coaches - and current volleyball parents - at VOLLEYBALLOGY.

Ep. 54 - Volleyball Rules You Gotta Know!

Episode 54

Saturday, September 16, 2023 • Duration 01:29:42

We’ve all been there as parents, players, and even coaches: the whistle blows and everyone stands in a cloud of confusion and partial outrage…looking from the ref, to the players, to other coaches, and back to the ref again. What the heck was THAT and why did the whistle blow? Of course, a number of courtside voices offer answers and explanations - bolstered by an air of confidence and assertiveness - but, as we all know, those answers tend to be false and are sometimes even horribly inaccurate. So, rather than looking around for guessed answers and continue to exist in this seemingly never-ending cloud of confusion, why not sit back, relax & watch or listen to the Volleyballogy guys as they share a few laughs and finally clear the air around these volleyball rules you GOTTA know!

Ep. 53 - Cultivating Positive Team Culture

Episode 53

Saturday, September 9, 2023 • Duration 01:29:02

We all want it but it seems so gosh darn elusive! But what if cultivating positive team culture is actually much easier than we think and what if it's something that all parents, coaches, and players can actually build together, using an almost formulaic or step by step approach? No matter what your role in the volleyball world, you’ll want to listen in as the guys celebrate their ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY (of Volleybalogy UNcensored) and discuss how coaches, parents, and players can not only create positive team culture - but just as importantly - not KILL it with some common and unintentional mistakes.

Ep. 52 - Too Stressed To Watch Them Play?

Episode 52

Wednesday, August 30, 2023 • Duration 01:24:26

In gyms around the world, parents - and even coaches - often struggle to watch their children & athletes play the game. We get it…it’s tough to see your kids in pressure situations and tougher to see them struggle, or even fail in key moments. Some parents have resorted to leaving the sidelines or deciding not to attend their kids’ games or tourneys. But what message are we sending our kids about sports when we ‘live & die’ with every point and each rally or when we tell them that we can’t even bear to watch them play? It’s easy to say that parents & coaches need to ‘gain perspective,’ but how can adults simply flick that switch and start helping their children enjoy the game more as a result? Listen in as the guys discuss the growing problem of impatience among parents & coaches, why it’s on the rise, and how to best manage and combat the issue for the benefit of our young athletes in the long run.

Ep. 51 - Got Cut...Now What???

Episode 51

Wednesday, August 23, 2023 • Duration 01:27:52

It’s that time of year; when gyms are filling up and battles are being (or have been) fought for the precious few spots on school & club volleyball teams around the country - and around the world. Inevitably, 12-18 players will be celebrating and selected while countless other athletes (and their families) will be told that they simply didn’t make the cut. It’s one of the hardest things in sport to accept and - with increasingly problematic trends like guaranteed pre-signings and political games - it might not even feel fair or be justified. But can being cut - unfairly or not - actually be a good thing for young athletes in the big picture? And does being rejected by one team or coach mean that your child has to give up the game, or are there other opportunities that parents might be missing for their heartbroken young volleyballers? Listen in as the guys chat about some ways to cope with being cut & offer some perspective and comfort in a time where players, parents, and even coaches need it most.
