It’s almost evaluation week, and we’re kicking off Season 2 with exactly what you need to walk into it with confidence. United Directors Scott and Korohen sit down to share what really matters during volleyball evaluations - whether you’re a returning player or walking into the gym for the first time.

Nervous? Excited? Somewhere in between? This episode is your guide to showing up strong, staying grounded, and standing out for all the right reasons.

From the energy you bring to the court to how you respond when things don’t go perfectly, this conversation is packed with real talk, helpful reminders, and honest perspective from coaches who value growth over perfection - and know what really leaves a lasting impression.

Inside, we cover:

• Why your mindset matters more than you think
• The qualities coaches are actually watching for
• What to do (and not do) if you want to stand out
• How parents can be a calm, supportive presence — without adding pressure
• The evaluation myths that need to go

If you’re ready to shift from anxious to intentional, this episode will help you step into the gym with more clarity, confidence, and purpose.

We’re cheering for you. Let’s get into it.
