The coaches are back from Sierra Strength and Speed to deliver another informative and thought-provoking episode all about health! In this episode, Rob and Blake bring on a guest Nate Hallett. Nate is a youth Volleyball coach who brings a wealth of knowledge not only in the volleyball world but also in working with young athletes.  We begin with Nate’s experience which includes a stint in international volleyball as a player and then coaching experience at nearly all levels of play.  From here we dive into everything coaching: working with young athletes, how to motivate and challenge them.  How to work and communicate with the parents.  When Nate feels like it is time for an athlete to specialize and is it good for an athlete to have multiple experiences growing up.  We truly believe that you will enjoy this podcast and hope it helps in working with youth-age populations and possibly your own kids. Enjoy!

The SSS crew is back! Rob, Blake, and Jake welcome back coach Nate to finish up some unfinished business. First, the crew begins by wishing Blake a short-term farewell to teach those Brits some real American football!  Then they dig into more coaching tactics in working with young athletes to try and get the most out of them, and help them understand the process of long-term athletic development. How do you create a “legacy” program where winning isn’t just talked about, but becomes expected by everyone in the program? How do we get there, what is the process, what is the mindset, how is it achieved? What can we do as coaches to create a mindset where the young athlete is always looking for the next challenge, how does it come from within?  Listen in as the coaches tackle these questions and more in this episode. Enjoy!
