They Lost Last Year… Then Won a National Championship with Carolyn O'Dwyer

The Volleyball By Design Podcast

About

In this episode, I sit down with national championship-winning coach Carolyn O’Dwyer to break down the standards, systems, and training environment behind her team’s title run after falling short the year before.


In this episode:



    How to build practices that are harder than matches
    The standards that drive consistency and performance
    Developing multiple offensive weapons
    The key stats that actually matter (and how to use them)
    Training athletes to problem-solve in game situations
    Structuring preseason for success
    Developing outsides (serve receive, attacking tools, decisions)
    Why repetition and quality reps matter
    Balancing competition vs experimentation in practice
    The core principles behind a championship culture

A must-listen for coaches who want to build more consistent, high-performing teams.
