Will These New Rules Reshape Volleyball?

New volleyball regulations are currently being tested to evaluate their potential to modernize and streamline the sport's gameplay dynamics. Are these new rules good?  Will they make volleyball more fun?

Why 90% of Hitters Jump High but Still Hit Soft?

A lot of players ask me: “Coach, I can jump high… so why don’t I hit that hard?” In this episode I share something I see all the time with hitters — the disconnect between jump height and real spiking power. Very often the problem isn’t strength or genetics. It’s that the energy from the jump never actually transfers into the ball. I talk about why this happens, how many players jump only up instead of attacking forward, why core connection is crucial, and how small details in arm swing timing and contact point can completely change the speed of your hit. If you already jump well but feel like your spike should be heavier, this episode will help you turn that jump into real attacking power.

Why does your jump get worse even though you train it more than ever?

In this episode, I break down one of the biggest traps volleyball players fall into: confusing more effort with better results. We talk about fatigue, nervous system overload, bad timing of jump training, and why some players actually jump higher after resting — not after pushing harder.  If your jump feels heavy, slow, or stuck, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and how to rebuild explosiveness the smart way.

Fix These Attack Mistakes (Before They Destroy Your Game)

Most attackers think they need a harder swing or a higher jump to score more points. They don’t. What really holds players back are a few hidden attacking mistakes that destroy efficiency and confidence — even in good hitters. In this episode, I break down the most common attacking mistakes I see at every level: playing for highlight kills, forcing perfect shots, hitting blindly into the block, giving free balls to the libero, being predictable, and attacking without communication. These are not strength or jump problems. They’re decision-making problems — and the best part is, you can fix them immediately. If you want to become a smarter, more efficient attacker and start scoring more points right away, this episode is for you.

8 Advanced Ways to Improve Your Jump Serve (Without Changing Technique)

In this episode, I break down eight advanced ways to make your jump serve more dangerous — without changing your technique. After playing at three World Championships, I’ve learned that great serving isn’t only about mechanics. It’s about identity, intention, psychology, vision, landing control, and how you handle pressure.  I’ll tell you how to build your serving identity, reset your mind with a quick routine, attack passers with purpose, read their body language, and train under real match stress. If you want a jump serve that holds up when it matters, this one is for you.
