One of the most under-taught skills in volleyball is attacker coverage. In this episode we go over how to approach coverage and why it is so important. Learning how to cover will save your team more points and frustrate your opponent.

In our scenario segment, we go over ideas for what to say during a coach's critical breaks in action, timeouts.

Finally, we share information about Karch Kiraly's book, Chasing Greatness.
