Skutt Volleyball's Dynasty, Husker Legacy & the Rise of Women's Sports

Coach Saunders reflects on the culture of excellence that has led her SkyHawks to 11 straight State Championship games and an astonishing 9 consecutive titles, detailing how she and her staff must constantly grow, adapt, and adjust to stay on top. She provides a powerful, firsthand perspective on the monumental growth of women's sports—from her own recruiting days to the surreal experience of seeing 90,000 fans at Volleyball Day in Nebraska and being an integral part of the Omaha Supernovas as their color commentator. She shares her awe, admitting she never thought a day like this would come for female athletes.The conversation also dives into the nuances of modern athletics, including her supportive, pressure-off approach to her athletes' recruiting process, the pros (reps, opportunity) and cons (burnout, rankings) of the AAU/High School combo, and the current stage of her career: giving back to the game she loves by running 16 satellite camps this year alone.

This is a masterclass in leadership, legacy, and love for the game from a coach dedicated to leaving every person she meets better than when she found them.
