Congrats to Iowa Western Volleyball on a comeback to win a 2nd National Championship in 7 months! It is so hard to repeat as National Champions in any sport, let alone seven months apart! Head Coach Alicia Williams shared her thoughts about the team before the match.

"I am in disbelief at what this team has done in the last week. The joy and passion of coming together with a common goal is unmatched. I have never hugged so many players more than I have in the last two days! They are incredible and so fun. I love each and every one of them. Let's see what happens tonight."

How cool is it to feel this way about your team and their journey before the final outcome is even known!

It is so fun to collaborate with a team that buys into training all the necessary ingredients required to be in a position to max out when it matters the most. Developing an elite mindset can be trained like any physical skill, and Iowa Western put in the work. In Set 5, they were the tougher team—the fearless team, and it showed especially the last 5 points of the match.

Today on the podcast we explore her journey as a player, an assistant coach, and to achieving back to back National Championship! Ultimately having Coach Alicia Williams Named NJCAA Volleyball Coach of the Year!
