She shares her needs analysis for the growing sport of volleyball, with NSCA Coaching and Sport Science Program Manager, Eric McMahon, including thoughts for training team sports, different positions on the court, and the progression from first year students through graduation. Another important topic is the professional pathways strength and conditioning coaches take to gain meaningful early-career coaching experiences and pursue higher-level director roles. Hear about, beyond the weightroom, demands placed on college student-athletes today, and how NCAA “Name, Image, Likeness” (NIL) policies are a topic that strength and conditioning coaches should learn about.
