What can chickens teach volleyball players? Apparently, quite a bit! Coach Chijo visits longtime friend and fellow coach Hollen in rural Idaho, where a conversation surrounded by chickens turns into a lesson about hesitation, hustle, and the importance of simply going for the ball. After unexpectedly running a 6 AM middle school volleyball practice, Chijo and Hollen discuss how to get young players moving, why coaches should sometimes talk less, and how game-like training can make practices m...
Why aren't more boys playing volleyball? Coach Chijo sits down with Jake Wu, a high school senior and boys' volleyball setter from Boulder, Colorado, to explore why boys' volleyball hasn't grown as quickly as girls' volleyball and what might help change that. They discuss the shortage of youth teams, the differences between the boys' and girls' games, serving strategies, the mental challenges of competition, and why some players don't discover volleyball until high school. Jake also shares hi...
What if you had to board a plane every time your high school volleyball team traveled to an away game? That's everyday life for volleyball players in Juneau, Alaska! Coach Chijo takes the podcast onto a boat in beautiful Southeast Alaska for a conversation with Juneau-Douglas Crimson Bears head coach Arnold Ibias and players Bree Powers and Nellie Stowers. With only two teams in their conference and no roads connecting Juneau to other cities, traveling to compete is a major undertaking. The t...
Wait… snow volleyball is actually a real thing? Coach Chijo sits down with Coach Betül Çetin, an accomplished indoor, beach, and snow volleyball athlete from Türkiye who has competed internationally and now brings that experience to coaching.

Sometimes you have to get out of the gym. After running five volleyball clinics in three days in Alaska, Coach Chijo heads into the Alaskan wilderness for a completely different kind of adventure. The trip includes hours in four-wheel-drive side-by-sides, glacier melt rivers, incredible scenery, and eventually a glacier. Then comes the big question: Is Coach Chijo actually going to jump into the freezing glacier water? This episode is a reminder for volleyball players and coaches to occasiona...
Why is high school volleyball different in Texas? Coach Chijo sits down with Libby Pacheco from the Texas High School Coaches Association while attending the association's massive coaching convention in Houston.

They dive into Texas volleyball culture, why the level of competition is so high, the relationship between high school and ...
How do you reduce drama on a volleyball team? This is Part 2 of my conversation with Coach Blase. In Part 1, The Playing Time Problem, we talked about fairness, equality, winning, development, and why playing time creates so much conflict between coaches, players, and parents. I ended that episode by asking Coach Blase what advice he would give young coaches struggling to handle playing-time issues. This episode begins with his answer. And that answer leads us into a much bigger discussion ab...
Playing time. Few topics create more tension between coaches, players, and parents. In this episode, Coach Blase and I tackle one of the most difficult questions in youth volleyball: What does fair playing time actually mean? Coach Blase shares the story of a parent who used a stopwatch to compare her daughter's time on the court with another player's and even counted how many times each athlete touched the ball. That leads us into a much bigger conversation about equal vs. fair, winning vs. ...
