About this episode
Today we're discussing what lessons we are teaching our kids when we let them play "down a level/division" in order to win or secure a spot or bid at a large tournament. In youth volleyball you will often find club teams playing in lower divisions than they normally would in order to ensure they place high enough to receive a bid to nationals. I want to chat about what sort of unintended effects this may have on players & what we are teaching them about themselves when we choose to do this.
