  • Paige Tonz
    Sooooo good!
    I have had the privilege of getting to know Whitney even outside the podcast. She is genuine, so kind, and has a heart to serve! I love the extremely relevant topics and value she provides not only for coaches, but the volleyball (and sports) community. Her podcast is a MUST LISTEN if you are a coach. P.S. I had the best time being a guest on her podcast as well! Thank you Whitney for all that you do for the sport, coaches, and girl athletes!

    Second opinion
    I absolutely love hearing your point of view! I started a youth volleyball program in our area and the information, opinions, and tools you have given me more confidence in myself as a first time coach but long time player. Our area never had a youth program until now. I played in junior high, high school, college, and club ball and I still didn’t feel prepared to be on the other side of the game coaching. Thank you!
  • BeartrapAri

  • megandenyse
    1st year coach
    I’m going to be a 1st year coach next year, and I’m so excited that there’s a podcast out here for me! I like listening to podcasts while I drive, so this is great! I’d love for the episodes to be longer rather than just an article, but it’ll take time to build :)
