In the second half of our discussion with Caitlin we cover the challenging transition from being an athlete to coaching, the benefits of trial and error, and what she believes are attributes that a good teammate possesses.
On this week's episode we sit down with United alum and current coach Caitlin Torok. In Part 1 of our discussion, we learn about her recruitment journey that led to her experience at Belhaven University, and how she kept herself open to opportunity while being willing to make mistakes. Part 2 drops next week!
This week, we are doing things a little differently! In our first solo episode, our host Korohen will be discussing serving - everything from fundamentals of the serve to the importance of mental training and overcoming pressure while building confidence.
In the second part of our conversation with Lydia, we talk about how important discipline is when motivation comes and goes, some personal sacrifices she has made to pursue her volleyball journey, and the impact energy has when striving to be a good teammate.
We recently sat down with United alum and current Huntingdon player Lydia Hitchcock - and it's a good one. So good that we've split it into two parts! This week, we discussed her unique recruiting experience, the benefits that come from utilizing time management, and the physicality/mentality differences in playing both beach and indoor. Join us next week for Part 2!
This week we sat down with 15 National coach Lydia Compton and discuss what it means to be a coach and the impactful role it plays in athlete's experiences, building chemistry and trust with your players, and teaching valuable lessons through losses.
We enjoyed chatting with GL so much that we split it into two episodes! In the second part of our discussion we talk about reflection exercises, knowing where your personal value comes from, her biggest challenge as an athlete, and being your own advocate when it comes to your wellbeing.
Today we sit down and chat with United alumni and Samford VB athlete Gracie Lynn Butler. We touch on the differences between playing at a club vs. college level, and the meaningful impact that takes place when coaches believe in their players. We also discuss how emotion makes competition electric, yet not every emotion belongs in every moment. Oh and a word of advice from GL... watch your film!
