In this episode of The Volley Pod, hosts Davis and Tod engage with Ken Murczek, head coach at Emporia State University, in a deep discussion about leadership in sports.

They explore the dynamics of team captains, the importance of communication over accountability, and the role of leadership configurations in fostering a positive team environment.

The conversation emphasizes the need for coaches to adapt their leadership styles based on the unique needs of their teams and the individuals within them.

Key takeaways include the significance of allowing players to lead, the value of communication, and the understanding that effective leaders do not always have to be the best players on the team.
