09 - Returning Safely

COVID-19 has completely turned the volleyball world upside down, for good and bad. This week, Pat and I are talking to Tim Doyle and Alex Brodjeski. Tim is the the current Head Volleyball Coach at William & Mary going into his 3rd season. Alex Brodjeski is the Athletics Performance Coach at William & Mary and comes from a club volleyball background with Northern Lights. They recently worked on a research project called Engineering Winning Volleyball. What they didn't realize was that with COVID-19 hitting the country, their work would be even more important. This project goes over Return to Play research and suggestions for teams returning to the court after the pandemic.
