About this episode
Guess what? We have Coach Matt Olson today!!! Having a SOLID partnership is one of the best methods to win more beach volleyball matches. In beach volleyball, each of our touches needs to have a purpose, a target, and a direction. Even if your pass lands exactly on your platform, it won't matter if you don't direct the ball to the area where your partner will have the simplest time setting you up. Even if you place it too far outside or behind you, it won't matter if you have the earliest of sets. It doesn't matter whether you make the crispest of shots if they land in the middle of the court. So, in order for you to know, CHECK THIS OUT! ๐๏ธ LISTEN ON APPLE PODCAST ๐๏ธ LISTEN ON SPOTIFY ๐๏ธ LISTEN ON GOOGLE PODCAST Timestamps: 09:57 - Do you think coaching is the right avenue to get better? 20:57 - What type of player should embrace a quick offense? 28:04 - Is this the Good Way to Approach Your Partner? 42:13 - Who was the Coach or who wasn't? 56:59 - Specific Way to Feed Drills 1:10:12 - One Piece of Advise that Mostly Applied 1:16:18 - Q and A 1:24:02 - Better at Beach Announcement Head Coach Mark Burik has been coaching sports for 16 years and has over a decade of playing and coaching experience in volleyball.
