14 - From Player to Coach - w Marouane Jafir

11/27/20 • 46 min

This week BJ LeRoy is my guest cohost and we chat with Marouane Jafir. Marouane is an experienced volleyball player with his roots starting in his home country of Morocco! He has a bunch of cool stuff on his resume like Player of the Year, Player Honors, etc etc. Basically he's awesome. He's currently the Club Director of Delaware United Volleyball Club and if you look at his Facebook profile, it looks like his favorite thing to do is fish.

We talk about how he went from a player on the Moroccan National Team to a coach in Delaware and a well regarded CAP Cadre! Him and BJ are besties so they'll share some fun stories in the mix too.

13 - Punishments

David Cordes, the Director Ridgecrest Starlings Volleyball Club, joins me and BJ to talk about punishments. David is the perfect guy to talk to about this because he's an everyday coach just like us! He despises the use of punishments in the gym and talks to us about all the ways coaches try to justify it. Be prepared for a lot of moaning and groaning from me.

Coaches - we are better this.

15 - Creating a Team Culture

I sit down to chat with the coaching staff for UW-Green Bay: Abbey Sutherland (Head Coach), Korey Schroeder (Assistant Coach), and Delaney McCreary (Assistant Coach) to talk about how to build a team culture, what UW-GB has done to shape their program and athletes, and transferring this to the youth level. So many great nuggets in this episode! And a fun call back to Trevor Ragan's Anti-Talent Show!
