In this episode, I’m talking to Cooper Keane, an opposite hitter for USC (Trojans) Men’s Volleyball and a member of the USAV U19 National Team.

We dive into his mental preparation on and off the court, the importance of adaptability and visualization in the quick changing game of volleyball, and how he balances life as both a student and an athlete.

Cooper also opens up about:

- Leadership in a team based sport

- The change from high school to college volleyball

- Navigating challenges like injury and mistakes

A great listen for athletes looking to level up their mindset and for those adapting to their first year of college as a student-athlete.
