EP20 - Lauren Bertolacci: Head Coaching Challenges of Building a Strong Club Program vs. Developing a National Team

02/14/24 • 52 min

And here it is guys! We have reached our 20th (!!!) episode, and what better way to celebrate another milestone than with an international guest? And yes, this episode will be 100% in English, but you already know that since the last 2 episodes right?

Our first international guest is... The head coach of the Swiss National Women's team and also head coach of Swiss team NUC: Lauren Bertolacci!

Today you'll hear all about Lauren's career started as a coach, how she sees volleyball development, and how she works hard to create her team culture and get some great results along the process.

Lauren was actually the only female head coach at the latest CEV European Championship, so you can already see from that bit of info that unfortunately we don't have many women in these spots. And I just think it makes an even greater reason for you to get right into this episode!

To follow Lauren's volleyball journey and all the work she is accomplishing (not only for Swiss volleyball, but for all women in sports), you can find her on Instagram @laurenberto and give her a follow!

And don't forget, you don't have to be shy around here, so come and share your thoughts on the comment section! I would also really appreciate to have your opinion on the voting section too (5 stars if it’s not too much to ask eheh!).

If you’d like a bonus communication platform, I’m on Instagram @martahurst and I read every message, so I’ll hear you out for sure. And I really love all your feedbacks, so keep them coming!

EP19 - Female Coaches: Why Are There So Few in the Volleyball World, and What Can We Do to Fight the Gender Gap

Hey everyone! I know you are used to reading this summary in English... And maybe you got slightly confused when you started listening and the episodes were in Portuguese... Sorry about that! To make it up to you, today we have our very first 100% English episode!

On today's episode you will listen to me talk about the general situation that is happening (and hopefully improving!) with female head coaches and female athletes, not only in volleybal but also other sports.

Hope you enjoy my views on the subject, this is for sure something I am really passionate about, and also one of the reasons I actually decided to start my adventure as a podcast host.

Let's all keep working on giving women in sports more opportunities, more visibility, more support!

Don’t be shy and share your thoughts with me on the comment section, I know that if you are here it is because you also want to see the women's game evolve and flourish!

I would also really appreciate to have your opinion on the voting section (5 stars if it’s not too much to ask eheh!).

And we are back to our Portuguese speaking episodes!

I'm heading into the playoffs and it's gonna be a very tight schedule, with games every Thursday and every Sunday.

So today's episode is short and simple: we are taking a small break!

This podcast process has been an amazing ride, and I'll for sure keep working on getting more episodes recorded for you, but I need to save up my energy to try and get a couple of medals (at least!) here in Hungary.

I'll see you all soon!
