Our guest this week is Joe Trinsey, a prolific writer who covers volleyball from a variety of perspectives. Today Joe talks with The VolleyPod about the "Goldilocks Method" for teaching passing. This technique inspires players to discover their kinesthetic feel for their game and allows for examination of a variety forms that allow for the same goal. This approach also encourages athletes to think more deeply about some of the key, yet overlooked aspects of passing, and open up a dialogue with the coach about what works for him/her, which can create some more genuine discussions than might be had otherwise.

Our scenario this week is one that Davis knows all too well: when your team is losing a lot, what do you do? Joe discusses his ideas for what coaches can do to help their teams in this difficult yet extremely common scenario. The ideas will be helpful for everyone who has ever endured a brutal loss.
