The core concept of Coaching Conversations has always been coaches simply getting together to talk. This episode is really just that – a recording of a pair of coaches talking about what’s going on and what they’re thinking about. In this case, it’s myself and my friend Ruben Wolochin, who you may remember from Episode 20<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it didn’t have a specific unified focus, I was tempted to call this “The show about nothing”. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not surprisingly, the conversation wanders around, touching on NCAA scheduling, covid vaccinations, Athletes Unlimited<\/a>, and several other topics.<\/p>\n\n\n

In the episode, I mentioned the new women’s league former Hawaii coach Dave Shoji is involved with. You can learn more about it from this episode<\/a> of the MasterCoaches<\/a> Weekly Buzz show. We also referenced the Volleyball League of America. I had a couple of guys from the VLA<\/a> on during the original Conversations series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I referenced some changes to the management structure of the German volleyball league. Here’s a story<\/a> (in German) about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also mentioned Benfica<\/a> playing in the Portuguese Cup. I had a bunch of focus from that club on for an interesting Conversation about different staff roles and support functions at a pro club<\/a>. As Ruben noted, Benfica beat Mamede in the quarterfinals the day we recorded this discussion. The next day they beat A.J.F. Bastardo in the semis, to set up a final against Sporting CP. Unfortunately, they lost in 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I brought up the back-to-back nature of play in the men’s Big West Conference<\/a>, which features Long Beach and Hawaii. It’s a structure we’ve seen a number of conferences adapt for the women’s season this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for the record, the longest trip for Medaille in the men’s AMCC – at least currently – is to Saint Vincent College (Latrobe, PA) at 4+ hours. Our two other away trips for the 2021 season are Penn State – Behrend (Erie, PA), and Geneva (Beaver Falls, PA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
