Nick played professional indoor volleyball as an outside hitter and now works with the Arm Swing Academy based in Edmonton, Canada, where he does one-on-one coaching, consulting, and clinics for clubs, colleges, and pro programs across the entire world. He has worked with national teams and juniors alike. In this podcast, we discuss:- the arm swing- the optimal draw back position- how to unload on the ball- arm slots- approach feet- how to hit different angles- and how to stay safe doing it all

In this podcast, I interview Greg Herceg, @the.volleyball.strength.coach on Instagram (201K followers). He is one of the leading figures on social media for volleyball-specific strength training. We discuss the difference between jump types, whether you are a muscular jumper or an elastic jumper. We talk about how to program your strength training across the course of a season and more.

Ryan Ammerman and I discuss the armswing mechanics, universal principles, the skill of winning, passing, and set distribution. Ryan has a phenomenal volleyball mind. He is a two time national collegiate champion and professional indoor setter, now coaching women’s volleyball at the University of Maryland.
